2 lbs. pork shoulder, ground
1 lb. veal, ground
1/4 c. brandy
1 tsp. peppercorns, whole
1 tsp. salt
1/2 lb. ham, ground
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp. allspice berries

Combine all ingredients by hand. Do not over-mix. Put in deep oven-proof dish and cover the top of the meat with thin pieces of pork fat or bacon. Cover dish with lid or foil. Place the dish in another pan containing an inch of hot water.

Place both dishes in oven and bake at 325 degrees for 2 1/2 hours. Refrigerate at least overnight before serving. This keeps well and can be made into several smaller loaves which will require less time to cook.
