a head of celery, one turnip, one carrot and two onions cut in
small pieces, one dozen cloves, salt and cayenne. Simmer for one
and one-half hours. Take out the tongue and add to the gravy one
tablespoonful of made mustard, one of Worcestershire sauce, three

three ounces of browned flour. Cook until smooth. Return the tongue to
