Calf's brains, chicken, veal, tongue or ham may be substituted for the sweetbread. =Tomatoes Farces a l'Aspic.= INGREDIENTS. 6 even-sized ripe tomatoes. 1 pint of aspic jelly. 1/2 a cup of lobster meat, chopped fine. 1 tablespoonful of capers. 2 yolks of hard-boiled eggs. Mayonnaise, parsley, lettuce. _Method._--Scoop out the centres of the tomatoes, after removing the skin, and chill thoroughly.
Pass the yolks through a sieve, add to the lobster, with the capers, half a cup of mayonnaise and half a cup of chicken aspic, thick and cold, but not set; stir these in a dish standing in ice water until nearly set; then fill the cavities in the tomatoes with the mixture.
Brush over the outside of the tomatoes with half-set aspic; when the aspic is set, repeat twice, then set aside on ice for some time before serving.
Serve on a bed of lettuce seasoned with French dressing.
Garnish each tomato with a sprig of parsley and the salad-dish with blocks of aspic.
