  1. Boil a small leg of pork that has been sufficiently salted, score the top, and serve it up; the pudding must be in a separate dish.

  3. Boil them with the pork, then mash and season them.
  4. Tie them up again and finish boiling it.
  5. Take care not to break the pudding in turning it out.
