   For Duxelles Stuffing:

        Soak the calf brains in a bowl of cold water with
   2 tablespoons of vinegar about 30 minutes.  Drain and
   carefully remove as much of the membrane and veins as
   possible from the brains.  Set aside.  In a small
   saucepan, combine 3 cups of cold water, the remaining
   2 tablespoons of vinegar, a little salt and bay leaf.
   Bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.  Gently
   add the brains and immediately remove the pan from the
   heat.  Let the brains sit in the liquid, covered, for
   8 minutes, then transfer them with a slotted spatula
   to a small bowl.  Set aside.
   
        Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet
   over medium-high heat.  Add mushrooms, sprinkle with
   salt and black pepper, and stir until nearly dry,
   about 8 minutes.  Add the shallot and cook for 2
   minutes longer.  Add cooked brains, and stir, breaking
   up the brains, until mixture is almost pureed.  Add
   1/4 cup of reserved Veal Stock to the mixture and
   simmer briefly until thick.  Remove from the heat,
   stir in parsley and adjust seasoning.  Cool mixture
   completely, then chill, covered.
