BRAWN1 pig's head, 6 lbs. 1 lb. lean beef1
tsp. salt1/2 tsp. pepper (black or white)1/2
tsp. cayenne pepper1/2 tsp. macePinch of
clovesSmall onion, minced very fine
Clean and wash the head, and stew with the beef
in enough cold water to cover. When the bones
will slip out easily, remove them, after draining
off the liquor. Chop the meat finely while it is
hot, season, and pour all into a mould, wet
inside with cold water. If you can have a tin
mould made in the shape of a boar's head, your
brawn will look well at a Christmas feast.
I think I understand what military fame is to
be killed on the field of battle and have your
name misspelled in the newspapers. GEN. WILLIAM
