SALMI OF PHEASANTS. Roast two hen-pheasants, and when cold remove the legs and cut off the drum-sticks ; then cut the fillets with the pinion-bones attached to them, separate the breast from the back, trim them both and cut them crosswise into halves and put these pieces in a stewpan. Pound in a mortar the drum-sticks and trimmings, and mix this purto with some Salmis sauce (No. 199), previously prepared; stir the contents well together, pour it over the pieces of pheasant, and warm it gradually without boiling. When ready squeeze in the juice of half a lemon
