Cut the liver into small slices, about three inches square. Into your saucepan place two onions, sliced fine, a tablespoonful of sage, one of summer savory, a little pepper, and salt; then add your liver, and cover with water, and let it stew for two hours. Just before you serve it, dredge on a little flour, and add a tablespoonful of butter.
Let them boil an hour and a half, with salt in the water; tie the brains in a cloth bag, and boil half an hour; when all is done, take out the bones and cut in pieces. Add to your liquor a little sweet marjoram, a nutmeg grated, clove, mace, and pepper, to taste, half a pint of ketchup, half a pound of butter; then put in the meat, and boil a few minutes, and it is done.
Half a calf's liver, season and fry brown, hash it, but not very fine, flour it thickly, then add a teaspoonful of mixed mustard, a little cayenne pepper, two hard-boiled eggs chopped fine, a lump of butter the size of an egg, a teacup of water. Let it boil a minute or two. Cold veal will do as well as liver.
Procure a nice calf's liver, wash and cut in thin slices, broil over a clean fire, with thin slices of breakfast bacon. Season with butter, salt, and pepper.
