Chop finely % lb. of beef suet with 2 ozs. of lean, raw ham, and 5 ozs. of bread-crumbs rubbed through a colander. Add a piece of thin lemon- rind about the size of a thumb-nail, a teaspoonful of chopped parsley, a teaspoonful of mixed sweet herbs, if fresh (if very dry, two teaspoonfuls), and half a teaspoonful of salt, and a little cayenne or white pepper. Bind the mixture together with two whole eggs. — No. 3. Take Yz lb. of veal and Ya lb. of fat bacon. Cut these into strips and scrape them with the back of a knife, then pound them well in a mortar and pass the preparation through a sieve. Mix with it the crumb of half a roll, half a drachm of powdered mace, the same quantity of grated nutmeg, a dessert-spoonful of chopped onions, parsley, and mushrooms, with a little pepper and salt. Mix these ingredients thorough- ly, continually pounding them in the mortar ; bind them together with two well-beaten eggs, and poach a small quantity in boiling water. When the preparation is firm, light, and delicate- ly flavored, it will be ready for use. This force-meat may be used for pies, balls, etc. When force-meat is to be served in the form of balls, mould it to the size and shape of large mar- bles, put these into hot fat over the fire, and turn them about for a few minutes till they are lightly browned. Place them on a sheet of blotting-pa- per before the fire to drain off the fat. When dry they are ready for serving. 152 Forfarshire Tea Buns FRITTERS Fritters Forfarshire Tea Buns. See Bread. Fowl.
