Instructions: Pound the onion well. Next pound the meat or fish (underdone beef is best), add as much pepper as will stand on a silver threepenny piece, the same of mace, the salt and a few drops of lemon juice. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add all the ingredients, and cook very slowly for about 1/4 hour.

Serve on buttered toast or fried bread.
