List of ingredients for Ox head


* 1 ox head
* A few peppercorns
* A bunch of fresh herbs

===Method===
* Get this prepared by the butcher, who will send it to you split in two.
* Lay it in strong salty water overnight and rinse under a briskly running tap til thoroughly clear. The tongue should be salted separately.
* Put the head into a pan with water to cover, a few peppercorns, salt ,a bunch of herbs , and vegetable trimmings.
* Simmer till the bones and meat all fall to pieces, then drain into a basin.
* Take out every scrap of bone and gristle and chop the meat finely, sprinkling with powdered herbs and pepper.
* Press into a mould set with a weight on top, and turn out when cold.
* Garnish with parsley and serve with pickles and roast potatoes.
* The broth, strained and boiled with oatmeal, onions, or a strongly flavoured vegetable such as celery, makes a meaty soup.
''Note'': Be sure you put the remnants, bones, vegetables, etc., out for the fowls to pick clean. There is enough miscellaneous picking on an ox-head to keep an industrious hen busy for hours
