Sufficient for three

Snipes, Superlative. — Prepare some
forcemeat as follows: — Take three ounces of
fat bacon and three ounces of fowl's Hver, and
cut both into pieces an inch square. Fry the
bacon over a sharp fire, move it about con-
stantly, and in three or four minutes add the
liver. When this is half done, mince it finely
with the bacon, season the mixture with a
little prepared seasoning {see Herbs, Aromatic,
Powdered), add a little salt and half a clove of
garlic✪ Superlative Snipes if Uked, and pound all in a mortar to a
smooth, compact mass. Press it through a wire
sieve, and keep it in a cool place if not wanted
immediately. Poll out one-half of it with a
little flour, form it into a sort of thick band,
and arrange it in a circle at the bottom of
a dish. Take four partially-roasted snipes,
split them open down the back, and spread
forcemeat, a quarter of an inch thick, over the
inside of each. Lay the birds in the centre of
the dish, and cover them lightly with forcemeat.
Smooth them with the flat part of a knife which
has been dipped in hot water, and put the dish
into a quick oven. Wipe away the fat which
has come from the forcemeat, pour truffle sauce
over the snipes, and serve. Time, twenty-five
minutes to bake the entree. Probable cost
of snipes, very variable. Sufficient for three
persons.
Snipes, to Truss. — Handle the birds
lightly, pluck them carefully so as not to tear
the skin, and pick them entirely, neck and
head. Do not draw them, but wipe them with
a clean soft cloth. Twist the joints of the legs
to bring the feet back upon the thighs, and
press the legs close to the body. Turn the
head under the wing, and pass the bill through
the thighs and body. Tie a string round the
logs and breast to keep the legs straight,
and pass it also round the head and the tip of
the bill. Hang the birds to the spit with the
feet downwards.
