method
1. Place the meat in a large, heavy pot or casserole and add onions, thyme, and bay leaf.
2. Add enough boiling water to cover the meat. Place pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil.
3. Then reduce the heat and cover the pot. Simmer the meat for 2 1/2 hours, checking to see that the water is not completely absorbed and adding more boiling water as necessary.
4. Pour a couple tablespoons of boiling water over the bread to soften it and mash it with a fork.
5. Add this mixture to the meat. Then add the honey, 2 more cups boiling water, and the lemon juice.
6. Cook, uncovered, turning frequently, until the meat is browned, about 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
