celery.
Remove bone, fill in cavity with forcemeat. Cut some even strips of
bacon 1/4 of an inch thick, and with a larding needle thread neatly on
top of meat. Slice vegetables, place them in a pan, set veal on these,
sprinkle with a little lemon juice. Cover with Criscoed paper, and add
stock to come three-parts up the meat. Cover closely and set pan in
oven (in order to get top heat also) or over a gentle fire, and simmer

stock, and brown in front of fire or in hot oven. Reduce stock in pan,
meanwhile, by fast boiling without lid, and strain round meat. Garnish
