Sausages,--or if you prefer it in the form of Cakes, pour it into a dish about a quarter of an inch deep; when it is cold, turn it out and weigh the Cake, and divide it with a paste-cutter into pieces of half an ounce and an ounce each; place them in a warm room, and turn them frequently till they are thoroughly dried;--this will take a week or ten days; turn them twice a day;--when well hardened, if kept in a dry place, they may be preserved for several years in any climate. This extract of Meat makes excellent "_Tablettes de Bouillon_," for those who are obliged to endure long fasting. _Obs._--The uses of this concentrated _Essence of Meat_ are numerous. It is equally economical and convenient for making _extempore_ Broths, Sauces and Gravies for Hashed or Stewed Meat, Game, or Poultry, &c. You may thicken it and flavour it as directed in (No. 329);--to make _Gravy_, Sauces, &c. take double the quantity ordered for _Broth_. If you have time and opportunity, as there is no seasoning in the Soup, either of Roots, Herbs, or Spice, boil an Onion with or without a bit of Parsley, and Sweet Herbs, and a few corns of Allspice, or other Spice, in the water you melt the Soup in, which may be flavoured with Mushroom Catsup (No. 439),--or Eschalot Wine (No. 402),--Essence of Sweet Herbs (No. 417),--Savoury Spice (Nos. 421, or 457),--Essence of Celery (No. 409), &c. or Zest (No. 255);--these may be combined in the proportions most agreeable to the palate of the Eater--and are as portable as Portable Soup, for a very small portion will flavour a Pint. The Editor adds nothing to the solution of this Soup, but a very little ground Black Pepper and some Salt. _Mem._ THIS PORTABLE SOUP is a most convenient article in Cookery--especially in _Small Families_, where it will save a great deal of time and trouble. It is also _Economical_, for no more will be melted than is wanted--so there is no waste. SHIN OF BEEF, weighing nine pounds, and costing 1_s._ 10-1/2_d._ produced nine ounces of concentrated Soup, sufficiently reduced to keep for several months. After the boiling, the Bones in this joint weighed two pounds and a quarter, and the Meat two pounds and a quarter. As it is difficult to obtain this ready-made of good quality--and we could not find any proper and circumstantial directions for making it, which on trial answered the purpose,--and it is really a great acquisition to the Army and Navy--to Travellers, Invalids, &c.--the Editor has bestowed some time, &c. in endeavouring to learn--and to teach how it may be prepared in the easiest,--most economical and perfect manner. The ordinary selling price is from 10_s._ to 12_s._--but you may make it according to the above Receipt for 3_s._ 6_d._ per Pound--_i. e._ for 2-1/2_d._ per Ounce, which will make you a Pint of Broth. Those who do not regard the expense, and like the flavour, may add the lean of Ham, in the proportion of a pound to eight pounds of Leg of Beef.
