Take five quail, but don't remove the skins, for you would lose all the taste of the game. Wipe them well; string them tight, so as to raise the breasts. Put a little butter substitute on each, a little lemon juice, and inside each the quarter of a lemon without the peel. Then put a very thin slice of pork, about two inches square, around each quail, with two or three cuts in each side, and string it tight. Let cook on a good fire, and when they are nearly well done (for white meat game must be well done) cut the strings; dress nicely on toast and serve hot. Pour the juice on the quail after having taken the fat off, and put some slices of lemon* around the dish, one for each quail.
