By Pot Cheese
1 pound of cheese must be well beaten in a mortar, and to it must be added 2 ounces of liquid butter, 1 glass of sherry and a very small quantity of cayenne pepper, mace and salt. All should be well beaten together and be put into a pretty shaped glass potting-jar, with a layer of butter at the top. It makes a delicious relish for bread or toast.
Boiled Eels
Skin, clean and properly wash a large eel and cut off the head, lay it round and round on a fish-plate, with a little salt, and boil in a very little water. Serve it with parsley and butter.
Pheasant Cutlets
Prepare three young pheasants in the usual way; cut them into joints and bone them; put the bones into a stew-pan with a little stock herbs, vegetables and seasoning, to make a gravy. Flatten and trim the cutlets, then broil them over a good fire, pile on a dish, and pour under them the gravy; one bone should be placed on the top of each cutlet.
How do you know if they are young birds?
Where do you buy your eels from?
Slippery questions eh?
You can tell if pheasants are young by asking them who their favorite singer is. If they answer with an artist you don't recognize, they are youthful.
I don't approve of buying eels. I'll only peel an eel that I can steal. Sound unreal? Well, that's how I feel.
LOL - oh man... the singer explanation had me laughing so hard, My Mukor asked me to read the whole post to him.
And the eel statement
makes me lament
over the state of
government...
Yeah, I'll just leave that to you, Don.
