Widgeon, Boasted.— Rub the breast of the widgeon with the liver till it is red. Truss it securely, and put it do-wn before a clear fire. Flour it, and baste frequently till done. Servo on toast in a dish, and send the gravy to table with it. It is generally preferred that a -widgeon should be underdressed. If liked, it may be stuffed with the liver pounded and mixed with a few bread-crumbs, a little pepper, salt, and grated lemon-rind
