Hare Cakes. — Take the remains of cold roast hare, and mince it finely with a quarter of its weight of finely-shred suet. Pound the mince in a mortar, and season rather highly with salt and cayenne. Bind it together with beaten egg and a little milk. The yolk of one egg and a table-spoonful of mUk will be suf- ficient for a pound of hare.
