10 Stewed Ox Head One of the members of the society has been very desirous of the particulars of the ox-head stew, which is given away at Norton Hall conceiving that they may be of service. The whole is divided into 52 messes, each mess containing a piece of meat, a piece of fat, and a quart of soup. The distribution of it has been continued since October 1792, once a week, and sometimes oftener, from October to May. The poor people receive it very thankfully, and generally reserve part of the mess for the second day. The manner of preparing it is as follows - Wash the ox's head very clean and well, and then put into 13 gallons of water; add a peck and a half of pared potatoes, half a quartern of onions, a few carrots, and a handful of pot herbs; thicken it with 2 quarts of oatmeal, and add pepper and salt to your taste :- set it to stew with a gentle fire, early in the afternoon, allowing as little evaporation as may be, and not skimming off the fat; but leaving the whole to stew gently over the fire, which should be renewed and made up at night. Make a small fire under the boiler at seven o' clock in the morning, and keep adding as much water as will make up the waste by evaporation, keeping it gently stewing till noon, when it will be ready to serve for dinner. The whole is then to be divided into 52 messes; each containing (by a previous division of the meat and fat) a piece of each and a quart of savoury nourishing soup. The expence of the materials in the northern counties, where it has been
tried, may be thus stated :- This amounts, exclusive of fuel and trouble, to rather more than a half-penny for each mess, or abt 2 pence a gallon; but ib the dearer parts of ENG, the articles being purchased by retail the mess may cost as much as 3 farthings or a penny. The beef and other bones, and crusts of bread, of the family may be added to the stew; and will improve the soup, without any additional expence. Observations. This receipt was tried by a gentleman to whom I gave the receipt, in
September last, at Auckland workhouse, and was, as I understand extremely liked
by the poor. Though the expence was very small, yet the quantity produced being
a great deal more than the people of the workhouse could use, the cottagers near
the workhouse were desired to send for messes of it; and had, in consequence,
the benefit of a plenteous and unexpected meal. It is now inserted in their
table of diet, to be made once a week for the benefit of the poor, both in and
out of the workhouse. This dish requires more attention, and more conveniences
for cookery, than are to be found in a cottage. It would be a good thing if part
of every workhouse was converted into a parochial cook's shop, to furnish the
poor, who receive no other relief, with cheap and nourishing dishes, which they
have neither the mens, skill, or inclination to make. |
