882. INGREDIENTS.--A calf's liver, vinegar, 1 onion, 3 or 4 sprigs of

parsley and thyme, salt and pepper to taste, 1 bay-leaf, lardoons, brown gravy. _Mode_.--Take a fine white liver, and lard it the same as a fricandeau; put it into vinegar with an onion cut in slices, parsley, thyme, bay-leaf, and seasoning in the above proportion. Let it remain in this pickle for 24 hours, then roast and baste it frequently with the vinegar, &c.; glaze it, serve under it a good brown gravy, or sauce piquante, and send it to table very hot. _Time_.--Rather more than 1 hour. _Average cost_, 10d. per lb. _Sufficient_ for 7 or 8 persons. _Seasonable_ from March to October. _Note_.--Calf's liver stuffed with forcemeat No. 417, to which has been added a little fat bacon, will be found a very savoury dish. It should be larded or wrapped in buttered paper, and roasted before a clear fire. Brown gravy and currant jelly should be served with it. FILLET OF VEAL AU BECHAMEL (Cold Meat Cookery).
