Preparation: Carefully remove the gall from the liver and put the
liver into milk diluted with water for 2 hours, dry it well, salt and
pepper, dip into beaten egg, then into flour. Heat the butter and fry
the liver 5 minutes to a light brown, turning it several times. Serve
on a hot platter. For the gravy, brown ¼ tablespoonful of flour in the
butter, add broth or water, cook well and serve with the liver.

From one goose the heart, gizzard, head, wings, feet and neck
1 qt. of water
Salt
4 pepper-corns
2 cloves
1 bay-leaf
½ onion, sliced
For the Gravy.
2 tbsps. of butter
3 tbsps. of flour
Bouillon
1 yolk of egg
Preparation: The feet are scalded and skinned, the gizzard emptied and
also scalded and skinned, the gullet cut from the neck, the eyes taken
out, wings, neck and head well cleaned and singed. Now put all this in
a kettle over the fire with the water, onion, salt, peppers, cloves,
bay-leaf and cook until tender.
For the gravy, melt the butter, stir in the flour, cook and add the
goose broth. The gravy must be smooth; stir into it one yolk of egg
and pour it on the giblets. Serve in a deep dish.
Fresh, peeled potatoes are good with it.
Remarks: You may also utilize these goose giblets for soup and put in
small potatoes.
No. 25—GOOSE LIVER PIE.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
3 large goose livers

¾ lb. fat pork
6 truffles
1½ lemon

2 tbsps. of Madeira or red wine
Salt, pepper
3 yolks of eggs
1 tsp. of grated onion
Bacon slices to line the pan
4 tbsps. of flour

peeled truffles. Drip the juice from 1½ lemons on the livers and let
stand for several hours.
The ⅛ lb. of butter is heated, mixed with the flour, salt and pepper
and ¾ pt. of broth and Madeira added. The finely chopped or ground
veal and pork are stirred into the thick gravy. The one goose liver is
chopped, fried 2 minutes in 2 tablespoonfuls of butter and the onion,
salted and peppered and mixed into the filling. Fill all this into a
deep baking pan or mold lined with bacon slices so that it makes 2 to
