When the tongue, heart and lungs are well done, cut them into cubes.
All the meat is put into a pot. Season with salt, pepper and a piece
of butter, pour in some bouillon and stew. Cut the meat off the head,
season with salt and pepper, dip in egg and roll crumbs and fry in
butter to a golden yellow. The same is done with the brains. The liver
is cut into slices, salted, peppered, dipped in flour and also fried.
The hash of tongue, lung and heart is placed in the middle of a hot
platter, the liver slices placed in a wreath around it, the meat from
the head, which has been cut into neat pieces, and the brains placed
on top of the hash.
The gravy should be prepared before dishing out the hash. For the
gravy, take one tablespoonful of flour, stir it in the butter in which
the meat, brains and liver have been fried, add some of the bouillon
and a little vinegar, lemon juice or white wine. Serve the gravy with
the meat.
