BIRD'S NEST. Boil some yellow macaroni gently, until it is quite swelled out and tender, then cut it in pieces, the length of a finger, and lay them on a dish like a straw nest.’ Truss pigeons with the heads on (having scalded and picked them clean), turned under the left wing; leave the feet on, and having stewed them, arrange them, as in a nest; pour the gravy over
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
