th it, and sew it up and boil until done.

SMOKED TONGUE

Put on to boil in a large kettle, fill with cold water, enough to
completely cover the tongue; keep adding hot water as it boils down so
as to keep it covered with water until done. Keep covered with a lid
while boiling and put a heavy weight on the top of the lid so as not to
let the steam escape. (If you have an old flat iron use it as a weight.)
It should boil very slowly and steadily for four hours. When tongue is
cooked set it outdoors to cool in the liquor in which it was boiled. If
the tongue is very dry, soak overnight before boiling. In serving slice
very thin and garnish with parsley.

SMOTHERED TONGUE

Scald tongue, and then skin. Season well with salt and pepper and slice
an onion over it. Let it stand overnight. Put some drippings in a
covered iron pot, and then the tongue, with whatever juice the seasoning
drew. Cover closely and let it cook slowly until tender--about three
hours.

PICKLED BEEF TONGUE

Select a large, fresh beef tongue. Soak in cold water one-half hour.
Crush a piece of saltpetre, size of walnut, one teacup of salt, one
teaspoon of pepper, three small cloves of garlic cut fine; mix
seasoning. Drain water off tongue. With a pointed knife prick tongue;
rub in seasoning. Put tongue in crock; add the balance of salt, etc.;
cover with plate and weight. Allow to stand from four to five days.
Without washing off the seasoning, boil in fresh water until tender.

*MEATS*

The majority of the cuts of meat which are kosher are those which
require long, slow cooking. These cuts of meat are the most nutritious
ones and by long, slow cooking can be made as acceptable as the more
expensive cuts of meat; they are best boiled or braised.

In order to shut in the juices the meat should at first be subjected to
a high degree of heat for a short time. A crust or case will then be
formed on the outside, after which the heat should be lowered and the
cooking proceed slowly.

This rule holds good for baking, where the oven must be very hot for the
first few minutes only; for boiling, where the water must be boiling and
covered for a time, and then placed where it will simmer only; for
broiling, where the meat must be placed close to the red-hot coals or
under the broiler flame of the gas stove at first, then held farther
away.

Do not pierce the meat with a fork while cooking, as it makes an outlet
for the juices. If necessary
