Take the giblets and a piece of beef, with a pint of port wine, and make
a good gravy. Pour some of this through the body of the swan when
dished. Some red currant jelly and port wine should be made hot and
served up likewise.
N. B.--The swan is _not_ to be skinned.
_Cock a Leekie à la Wemyss._
To some good stock made the previous night from an old fowl, or of veal,
add three pounds of the white part of the leeks, and let the whole boil
slowly for three hours, then add a skinned fowl (old or young), cut into
neat pieces, and three dozen of good prunes. Let all simmer together for
one hour longer. Season with salt and white pepper, and you will have
good cock a leekie.
N. B.--In frost the leeks require less boiling.
