Beef, Round of. Boiled.— Few people di-ess a whole round, and hence this recipe is given for half a round, or, say twelve pounds, from the silver or tongue side of the round. Salt it for eight or ten days, then clean off the salt or brine, skewer it up tight, and tie a piece of wide tape round it to keep it well together. Put it into a saucepan of boiling water
