Moor Game Pie.— Season the birds highly with cayenne, black pepper, and salt. Any other seasoning will rob them of their native flavour. They may be divided or not, accord- ing to size. Small birds are best whole. Boil down any trimmings for gravy. Put this, with some good beef gravy, into a pie-dish, and lay in the birds with bits of butter over them ; or a rump-steak, well seasoned, may be laid in the bottom of the pie-dish, with the gravy from the trimmings. Cover with a puff paste
