Galantine

Sausages
Historic

Chopped meat, commonly white meat, such as veal or pork, often with vegetables, prepared so as to form a set slab when cold, glazed with a gel. Eaten cold and sliced.

The name appears to derive from the thick sauce used; Galandine


Original Receipt from 'Pot-luck; or, The British home cookery book' by May Byron (Byron 1914)

GALANTINE OF BEEF (Hertfordshire) Mince a quarter of a pound of beef and half a pound of bacon. Put both in a basin with six ounces of breadcrumbs, and pepper and salt. Beat two eggs and a gill of stock together and add to the other ingredients, and mix all well. Shape this into a nice roll, tie in a buttered pudding cloth, and boil for two hours; turn out, let it set, and glaze it.
