Aunt Gwen’s Cold Shape (!)

1 calf head, quartered

salt, pepper, hay, herbs as desired

½ cup lemon juice

or

1 cup dry white wine

Remove most of fat, and the brains (save for another dish), ears, eyes, and snout (a kindly butcher will do this for the finicky). Soak for ½ hour in cold water, wash off, cover with cold water, and simmer until the meat starts to fall from the bones. Drain in large colander over another kettle, saving all the cooking liquor. Dice the meat (‘in pretty pieces’, Aunt Gwen directed), add the stock amply to cover, and mix gently with seasoning to taste. Simmer for ¾ hour, add the lemon juice or wine, and pour into a mould. Cover with a cloth, weight well, and chill. Serve in slices. (Aunt Gwen used bread-pans for the moulds, clean bricks for the weights … and there were always cucumber-chips on the platter.)
