SALMI OF WOODCOCK OR SNIPE.

Clean and half-roast the birds; cut in quarters, and put in a saucepan

with gravy made of the giblets, necks, and some bits of fat pork,

stewed in a little water. Add a minced button onion, salt, and a

pinch of cayenne, and stew fifteen minutes or until tender, closely

covered. Take out the birds, and pile neatly upon buttered toast in

a chafing-dish. Strain the gravy and return to the fire, adding some

small pieces of butter rolled in flour, the juice of a lemon and a

little wine. Boil up, and pour over the salmi.
