This recipe was extracted from Hilda's "where is it?" of recipes (1891) by Hildagonda J. Duckitt, page 86. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

3 lb. Veal, i lb. of Bread-crumbs, }lb. Pork. Salt, Pepper, CayenoA A few Qoves, pounded. Mix all well together with a couple of raw eggs, put into a plain mould, steam for two hours, then put into an oven to dry a little; turn out when cold. Cut in slices. A nice luncheon dish. Mutton done in the same way is very good to eat hot. VEAL {ROAST FILLET OF). For an 8 lb. fillet, take out the bone and fill up with the following stuffing : J lb. of suet, i lb. of bread-crumbs soaked in milk, a few sweet herbs, a little nutmeg, pepper, and an egg or two ; mix all well together. Skewer up the joint in a round form (larding it with nice fresh bacon is a great improvement) ; cover the veal with a buttered paper ; let it roast very gently ; baste it well with some butter or fat. About half an hour before serving, pour over the joint half a tumbler of wine, with a teaspponful of flour mixed in it, which makes a nice rich gravy. (Takes three hours in an oven.) 2SI V] VENISON— VEGETABLE MARROW STUFFED. VENISON. (My own Recipe.) The " Duiker " is considered very good, and also the " Springbok," which, however, is very rare in the western province of South Africa. The forequarter is generally used for "Buck soup"; the saddle (cut like a saddle of mutton) being the best joint for roasting, and must hang for six or seven days. After the outer skin is taken off, there still remains a thin white fleece, which must be taken off before larding the venison. Take a firm piece of fat bacon cut into equal strips, and proceed to lard either with a larding-needle or pointed knife. Venison is much nicer roasted in a flat Dutch baking-pot, with a good piece of butter and a spoonful of good lard or fat. Put the joint on with a little water. If a saddle, turn it upper side down at first, and an hour after- wards put some wood-coals on the cover of the pot Having basted the joint well, roast it a nice brown, and half an hour before serving pour over it a tumbler of dark wine and a little vinegar, with a dessertspoonful of flour mixed in them. Stir the gravy well. This gives a nice glaze to the meat, and imparts a very good flavour. If done in an oven, cover the joint with a buttered paper and baste frequently. The " Steenbok " and " Grysbok " are very plentiful in some districts, and are very good to eat too. VEGETABLE MARROW STUFFED. {Enir^t. Mrs. D. Cloete's Recipe.) Ingredients. I lb.
