As published
This recipe was extracted from Modern cookery, in all its branches (1884) by Eliza Acton, page 204. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.
half a small nutmeg grated, a teaspoonful of salt, and a half-quarter one of cayenne ; stir the whole well together, and put it, with half a pint more of gravy, to the portion which has been already simmered. When the whimsey has boiled softly from four to five minutes, pour it into moulds or pans, in which slices of the tongue have been evenly arranged, and when quite cold it will turn out very firmly. It may be garnished, before it is sent to table, with branches of parsley, which should, however, be perfectly dry; and when served for supper or luncheon, it may be accompanied by a salad dressing. Calf’s head, 1 lb. ; lean of ham, 3 oz. ; gravy, pint ; xind of 1 large lemon ; parsley, 3 teaspoonsful ; thyme and salt, each 1 teaspoonful ; mace, | teaspoonful ; £ nutmeg ; cayenne, £ part of teaspoonful
