Boil the liver until tender; mash it to a paste with butter and seasoning; spread over thin slices of buttered toast moistened with juice from the pan, and lay the grouse on these slices. HAUNCH OF VENISON ROASTED Wipe the meat carefully with a wet cloth and cover with a large sheet of buttered paper. Make a thick paste of flour and water; roll out three quarters of an inch thick; lay over the fat side of the haunch; cover with three or four sheets of thick white paper and tie securely with cord.

FORCEMEATS, STUFFINGS, ETC. FORCEMEATS are useful for filling timbales and for garnishing other dishes. When intended for balls, the consistency should be tested by poaching a small quantity in boiling water. If too thin, more bread crumbs should be added. Stuffings are too common to need any introduction. They are what make roast poultry palatable to most people, and a good stuflSng is an addition to any roasted or baked meat. QUENELLES
