Have meat ground fine as possible. Then mix thoroughly with the herbs, 1 egg, pepper and salt, 1/2 cup stock and 1/2 cup crumbs.
Form a loaf and brush top and sides with the second egg. Now, scatter the remaining 1/4 cup of crumbs over the moistened loaf.
Place in a baking pan with the 1/2 cup of stock and bake in a moderate oven three hours, basting very frequently, and adding water in case stock is consumed.
