- Knuckle of veal
- Pepper
- Salt
- Sweet herbs, chopped, or rubbed fine
- Onions
- Potatoes
- Flour
- Butter
- Pepper and salt
Take four pounds of tripe and a small knuckle of veal, and place them into a large pot, with as much water as will cover them, some whole pepper, and a little salt. Let them boil slowly, keeping the pot covered closely. When the tripe is quite tender, and the veal well boiled, skim the liquor and strain it; cut the tripe into small pieces, and place them back into the pot, with the soup. Have ready some sweet herbs, chopped, or rubbed fine- some sliced onions and sliced potatoes; make some small dumplings with flour and butter; season the vegetables with pepper and salt, and place them into the pot. Have ready a kettle of boiling water, and pour on as much as will keep the ingredients covered while boiling, but take care not to weaken it too much. Add a large lump of butter rolled in flour; put in the dumplings, and let all boil together till thoroughly done. The tripe must be boiled the day previous and be set away in the liquor.
