This recipe was extracted from The Swedish, French, American cook book (1918) by Hammond, Maria Mathilda (Ericsson) Mrs., page 351. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Roasted Woodcock with Watercress (Becasse rotie au Cresson ) Pick, singe, and wash the woodcock well; open, and remove the crop from the neck; take the insides out — carefully, removing the gall from the liver; put insides back again; clean the head well; chop the heart and liver fine, put back inside the bird with a piece of butter, pepper, and salt. Then tie the bird up nicely — put the bill into the breast; put in a roasting pan with thin slices of fat bacon on the top with some sherry

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
