Trim, truss, rub with butter or cover with slice of fat
bacon, and roast before a clear fire for half an hour. Serve
with good bread sauce made with cream (this is half the
battle), and some fried bread-crumbs.
GROUSE, EILLET OF.
No. 185.
Roast and fillet as in direction for Filleting (No. 162).
GROUSE, DEVILLED.
No. 186.
Fillet as in receipt for Filleting (No. 162), cook and
serve as in Receipt No. 173, and add what is left of the
sauce the same way as in receipt quoted (No. 173).
GROUSE, GRILLED.
No. 187.
Fillet in the same way as the foregoing receipt, put in
a wire gridiron, rub with butter, dust with pepper and salt
and grill over a clear fire. Grouse are such excellent birds
that I think this the best way of cooking them for break-
fast ; there is no sauce to destroy their flavour.

HARE, CIVET OE.
No. 190.
Trim and cut a raw hare into fillets, cut half a pound
of streaky bacon into squares double the size of dice, put
the whole into a saute pan with two ounces of butter, and
fry for ten minutes. Mix in two table-spoonfuls of flour
and add a bottle of claret and a pint of Stock (No. 27).
Let the whole boil for ten minutes, strain, wash the fillets
in a tumbler of claret and put them in a clean stewpan,
pass the stock again through a sieve, and add to it the
fillet-garnish with five onions, with three cloves in one of
them, a bouquet of parsley, thyme, four bay leaves, and six
shalots. Let the whole stew until tender (about two hours),
remove the garnish, add two dozen small mushrooms, and
incorporate with the stock the blood of the hare, which
must have been kept. The remains of a cooked hare can
be done in the same way, only it must not stew so long.
