Veal Pie, Parsley. — Cut some slices of
lean veal into neat pieces, and season these with
salt and cayenne. Take a handful of parsley,
pick the leaves from the stems, scald them,
press, dry, and chop them small. Fill the dish
with layers of veal, and sprinkle a little parsley
over each layer. Pour milk into the dish in-
stead of stock. Cover the dish with pastry in
the usual way, and bake until done enough.
Lift up the crust, pour away the milk, and
substitute for it half a pint of boiling cream✪ Veal Pie, Parsley.
Serve immediately.
Veal Pie, Plain (for family use). — Take
two pounds of the breast of veal, cut it into
pieces an inch and a half square, and season the
meat by sprinkling over it a savoury powder
made of two tea-spoonfuls of salt, one tea-
spoonful of white pepper, half a tea-spoonful of
pounded mace, and half a tea-spoonful of grated
lemon-rind. Pour over the meat a small quan-
tity of water, and add a few sticks of celery, an
onion, and a small bunch of sweet herbs✪ Veal Pie, Plain (for family use). Let
the meat heat gently, and add a little more
water till there is as much as will barely cover
the meat. Stew the veal very gently till it is
tender. Let it remain until cold, then take out
the fat. Place the meat in layers- in a pie-dish,
and put in with the veal a little ham or bacon,
three eggs boiled hard, shelled, and sliced, and
a few forcemeat balls. All or any of these
ingredients may be omitted. Strain a little of
the stock over the meat. Line the edges of the
<lish with pastry, cover with the same, and
make a hole in the centre. Ornament the sur-
face of the pie, brush it over with yolk of egg,
and bake in a well-heated oven. Turn the
pie about that it may be equally baked. Boil
the gravy that was not used, and when the pie
comes from the oven pour it in. If more con-
venient, the veal, instead of being stewed in a
saucepan, may be put into a pie-dish, covered
with a dish, and stewed in a moderate oven.

quarter ; to bake the pie, three quarters of an
hour to one hour and a quarter. Probable
oost, veal, 9d. or lOd. per pound.

ture in a mortar, and season with salt and
cayenne. A small piece of onion, herbs, and
spices may be added to the forcemeat, if liked.

pie with alternate layers of thinly-sliced ham,
veal, and forcemeat. Laj'' thin slices of fat
b)acon on the top of the meat, put a bay-leaf on

Pies). Half an hour after it is taken from the
oven pour into it, through a pointed strainer
placed in the hole at the top, a little highly-
seasoned gravy which will form a strong jelly
when cold. This jelly may be made by ste-w-ing
a calf's foot and the bones and trimmings of
the veal with an onion stuck with two cloves.
