When smoked tongue is left over from the dinner before it is delicious if made in this way. Grind the tongue through machine once or twice, then measure it by the cup. To each cup of tongue take three tablespoons cold thick cream sauce. Beat it thoroughly with a whisk until creamy; add one egg, one table¬ spoon sherry, pepper and salt to taste. Decorate a buttered ring mould with boiled white of egg and truffles — daisies or any design that is wanted; put the mousse in a paper tube; fill the mould care¬ fully so as not to disturb the decoration; hammer it down against the table so that the mousse will become solid in the mould; put in hot water; cook in oven — uncovered — for twenty-five to thirty minutes. When the mousse is cooked it begins to rise from the form. When done and ready to serve, turn out on a hot platter and serve with a rich mushroom sauce in the centre; garnish with parsley.
