May 14th : ROAST BEEF HEART
If your digestive organs be at all impaired, let me advise you not to partake of this dish; in rude health you may venture with impunity.
The heart must be stuffed with the same materials used for fillet of veal, well basted with fresh butter, and allowed twenty -five minutes to the pound. Make some beef gravy to serve with it, and melt a pot of red currant jelly in a gill of port wine, to be sent quite hot to table.
