(2) Cut up some boiled Cow-heels in convenient pieces, and dip them in frying batter ; heat some lard in a frying-pan, and when boiling drop the pieces of feet in and fry them brown.

Strain off the water and wash it again. Put it in an enamelled saucepan, cover it with cold water, and stew gently for six hours, skimming it continually. When done, strain the stock into a basin, let it get cold, and skim off the fat. In using the jelly be careful not to mix the sediment with it. Cow-heel Soup. — Cut two Cow-heels and lib. of salt pork into small pieces, put them in a stone jar with 5 pints of clear broth, the juice and chopped rind of one lemon, and a season- ing to taste of chopped herbs and parsley.
