Directions

1

Wash and boil a nice head until it is tender. Take out the brains as soon as it is washed and the chops divided from the skull. Have ready one quart beef gravy ; add spices and walnut catsup to your taste. Cut the head up, put it in the gravy and stew it a short time. Add two tablespoonsful of butter rubbed in brown flour. Add a little wine last of all. Bake in a dish and garnish with pastry cakes and hard-boiled eggs. Put all on a dish with forcemeat balls and brain cakes.
