FOOTNOTES:
[A] The author would add a small proportion of water to the pieces of fat. It facilitates the melting process, preserves the color, and will all evaporate in cooking.
[B] The addition of the slice of pork is quite indispensable for veal chops en papillote, but it is often omitted when the chops are of mutton.
[C] If the fowls are not tender, add a little water, and stew them slowly until they are.—Ed.
[D] The macaroni may be boiled in stock.
[E] The brandy, wine, or lemon-juice may be omitted if preferred.
[F] Francatelli used three oblong tin pans, three inches deep, instead of plates, the under and upper pans serving to hold the pounded ice.—Ed.
[G] Four cupfuls of sifted flour are a pound; one cupful of lard or butter is half a pound.
[H] If fresh lemons can not be obtained, the extract of lemon may be used. Do not let the pies remain in the tins.
[I] Five or six minutes will suffice for baking them.—Ed.
