Raised Pie, with a Neat’s Tongue

Ingredients

• 1 neat's tongue, boiled
• good force-meat

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

1. Shape a pie to resemble a tongue.

2. Place hot force-meat at the bottom.

3. Cut the boiled tongue into thin slices and arrange around the pie.

4. Cover with sheets of bacon and seal the pie.

5. Bake in a moderate oven (350°F / 175°C) for about an hour.

6. Once done, cut the top off, pour off the fat, and serve.
