Calf's Head Soup Recipe

Take a knuckle of veal, and put as much water to it as will make a good

soup; let it boil, skimming it very well. Add two carrots, three

anchovies, a little mace, pepper, celery, two onions, and some

sweetherbs. Let it boil to a good soup, and strain it off. Put to it a

full half pint of Madeira wine; take a good many mushrooms, stew them in

their own liquor; add this sauce to your soup. Scald the calf's head as

for a hash; cut it in the same manner, but smaller; flour it a little,

and fry it of a fine brown. Then put the soup and fried head together

into a stewpan, with some oysters and mushrooms, and let them stew

gently for an hour.
