 impracticalthese days due to the difficulty of procuring fresh pig's blood
 and casings.) . Stew liver in boiling salted water until tender. Remove
 liver, and mince. Reserve cooking liquor. Mix all ingredients in large
 bowl.  Stir thoroughly until blended. Fill casings with mixture. Tie off in

 slices as required and fry in hot fat on both sides until crisped.
