Procure eighteen fine, fresh codfish-tongues,wash them thoroughly in cold water, then drain, and place them in a saucepan on the hot stove: cover with fresh water, and season with a handful of salt, six cloves, twelve whole peppers, one sliced onion, a bouquet (No. 254), and half a sliced lemon. Let them come to a boil, then transfer them with the water and garnishings to a stone jar, and use when needed.
