pper-dish and fend it to the oven;
when you dish it up make for the turkey brown gravy-sauce; shred into
your sauce a few oysters and mushrooms; lay round artichoke-bottoms
fry'd, stew'd pallets, forc'd-meat-balls, and a little crisp bacon.
Garnish your dish with pickled mushrooms, and slices of lemon.
This is a proper dish for a remove.
67. POTTED TURKEY.
Take a turkey, bone her as you did for the pie, and season it very well
in the inside and outside with mace, nutmeg, pepper and salt, then put
it into a pot that you design to keep it in, put over it a pound of
butter, when it is baked draw from it the gravy, and take off the fat,
then squeeze it down very tight in the pot; and to keep it down lay
upon it a weight; when it's cold take part of the butter that came from
it, and clarify a little more with it to cover your turkey, and keep it
in a cool place for use; you may put a fowl in the belly if you please.
Ducks or geese are potted the same way.
68. _How to jugg_ PIGEONS.
Take six or eight pigeons and truss them, season them with nutmeg,
pepper and salt. _To make the Stuffing_. Take the livers and shred them
with beef-suet, bread-crumbs, parsley, sweet-marjoram, and two eggs,
mix all together, then stuff your pigeons sowing them up at both ends,
and put them into your jugg with the breast downwards, with half a
pound of butter; stop up the jugg close with a cloth that no steam can
get out, then set them in a pot of water to boil; they will take above
two hours stewing; mind you keep your pot full of water, and boiling
all the time; when they are enough clear from them the gravy, and take
the fat clean off; put to your gravy a spoonful of cream, a little
lemon-peel, an anchovy shred, a few mushrooms, and a little white wine,
thicken it with a little flour and butter, then dish up your pigeons,
and pour over them the sauce. Garnish the dish with mushrooms and
slices of lemon.
This is proper for a side dish.
69. MIRRANADED PIGEONS.
Take six pigeons, and truss them as you would do for baking, break the
breast-bones, season and stuff them as you did for jugging, put them
into a little deep dish and lay over them half a pound of butter; put
into your dish a little water. Take half a pound of rice, cree it soft
as you would do for eating, and pour it upon the back of a sieve, let
it stand while it is cold, then take a spoon and flat it like paste on
your hand, and lay on the breast of every pigeo
