hours until tender, then remove the skin and all fat. After this, stew
the tongue, gradually adding the bouillon which should be boiled down
by this time to ¾ of a pint, also add the lemon juice, extract of beef
and flour, which has been stirred with 2 tablespoonfuls of cold
bouillon and the Madeira, then stew the tongue for half an hour. It
must be very tender when given to the invalid. Tongue and gravy should
be served together.
