GallinO Rennet. — A rennet may be made from the rough skin which lines the gizzards of fowls or turkeys, and the curd obtained by its means is more delicate than that made from calf's rennet. The skin should be well-washed, salted, and covered to protect it from dust, and hung in a cool place to dry. A little piece soaked in a cupful of boiling water I for eight hours produces the rennet. I Game. — Under the general denomination, ■ " game," are included all wild animals which I are fed for human food ; and in nothing is the I skill and knowledge of a cook so much 1 displayed as in its management. The peculiar j flavour for which it is so much prized is entirely lost if it is not kept and hung for a sufficient length of time after being killed. Without this, venison is not so good as mutton, and an ordinary chicken is more palatable than a pheasant or a partridge. Care must, however, be taken that the dish is not offensive when placed upon the table. All game is better for being young. Game should not be washed before cooked. If wiped with a dry cloth, it may be thoroughly cleansed ,and the flavour preserved. Game and Macaroni Pie. — Put a Game and Macaroni Pie
