Select a rib of beef of sufficient thickness to weigh at least eight pounds.

Let the meat be well larded, and braized over a slow fire; then add a pottle of fresh mushrooms (forced, at this season), two pound of truffles, two dozen forced meat-balls, made with plenty of eggs, and half a pint of Madeira.

This being an expensive dish is only applicable to state occasions; or as the sailors say, “for birthdays or bonfire nights."
