Take out the gullet and rough root of a neat’s tongue, eight pounds
weight; rub it well with common or rock salt three days, then take
Foots of sugar ¼ lb.
Saltpetre in powder ½ oz.
Rub well with this, out of the pickle, then return all to the first
brine, and keep it close covered three weeks, turning it every day. It
will be fit to be cooked if wanted, but if to be smoked, treat it with
the drying process, and when ready, smoke it with
Oak lops 2 parts
Fern 2 parts
Peat 2 parts
This is intended for tongues for general purposes. There follow some
excellent pickles for higher flavours.
