Make about eighteen or twenty of these rounds. Have ready the same number of forcemeat scallops the size of a florin made with one ounce of veal suet, the chopped liver of the hare, a table-spoonful of parsley, thyme, marjoram, pepper and salt to taste, a dust of cayenne. Mix all together with the yolk of a large egg and a gill of liquid aspic. Put on ice to set and put one on each hare scallop. The bones of the hare and any trimmings should have been placed on the fire in some stock with a small carrot, onion, celery, and a bouquet garni, just brought to the boil, and simmered for a couple of hours, then skimmed and strained, then mixed with a good brown sauce into which four ounces of aspic should be melted. Mask the hare scallops with this sauce. Dish them up on an ornamented border of aspic cream flavoured with red currant jelly alternately with the forcemeat scallops, which should be lightly masked with pale aspic. The centre garnish should be a macedoine of vegetables strained from the water and warmed up in stock, then drained, and, when cold, tossed them in two table-spoonfuls of half-liquid aspic jelly.
