1982—VANNEAUX (Lapwings)
1982—CHEVALIERS DIVERS (Various Sandpipers)
These birds are not covered with slices of bacon; they must be roasted before a very fierce fire, and kept somewhat underdone. They must be served as soon as ready, as waiting is prejudicial to them.
They admit of no accompaniment or garnish, except a very short gravy.
[1983—GROUSES, COQS DE BRUYÈRE (Black Game)]
1983—GELINOTTES (Hazel-hens)
These birds must be very fresh when roasted, and should be kept moderately underdone.
They allow of the same adjuncts as pheasant, i.e., bread sauce, bread-crumbs, potato chips, and gravy; and their breasts alone are served as a rule. Grouse and hazel-hens, when they are young, make incomparably fine roasts.
SALADS
Salads are of two kinds: simple, or compound. Simple, or raw salads always accompany hot roasts; compound salads, which generally consist of cooked vegetables, accompany cold roasts.
