Ingredients
- a teaspoonful of vinegar
- a pint of mushrooms
- three cucumbers into very thin slices
- vinegar
Directions
Soak a pair of calf’s sweetbreads in cold salted water, and drop them into boiling salted water. Add a teaspoonful of vinegar, and boil them for twenty-five minutes. Drop them again into cold water to harden. When cold remove the membrane, and cut into small pieces. Peel and slice two or three cucumbers into very thin slices, and stand in salt water for one hour. Drain and mix with the sweetbreads. Just before serving mix with mayonnaise dressing, and garnish with white celery tops and olives. Half a pint of mushrooms and celery added are quite an improvement.
