"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

Separate one hog's head into halves. Take out the eyes and brains.
Scrape and thoroughly clean the head. Put into a large kettle and
cover with 4 or 5 quarts of cold water. Simmer gently for 2 or 3
hours, or until the meat falls from the bones. Skim off grease
carefully from the surface; remove meat, chop fine and return to the
liquor. Season with salt & pepper to taste and 1 tsp sage. Sift in
granulated yellow corn meal, stirring constantly, until the mixture
is thickened to the consistency of soft mush. Cook slowly for 1 hour,
watching carefully as it scorches easily. When sufficiently cooked,
pour into greased oblong tins and store in a cool place until ready
to use. Cut in thin slices and fry in hot fat until crisp and brown.
