Salmis of Game.
Take the remains of a game dinner, say two or three
grouse. Cut all the meat from the bones, in as handsome
pieces as possible, and set aside. Break up the bones, and
put on to boil with three pints of water and two cloves. Boil
down to a pint and a half. Put three table- spoonfuls of but*,
ter and two onions, cut in slices, on to fry. Stir all the time
until the onions begin to brown ; then add two spoonfuls of
flour, and stir until a rich dark brown. Strain the broth on
this. Stir a minute, and add one teaspoonful of lemon
juice and salt and pepper to taste ; if you like, one table-
spoonful of Leicestershire sauce, also. Add the cold game,
and simmer fifteen minutes. Serve on slices of fried bread.
Garnish with fried bread and parsley.
This dish can be varied by using different kinds of season-
ing, and by serving sometimes with rice, and sometimes with
mashed potatoes, for a border. Half a dozen mushrooms is
a great addition to the dish, if added about five minutes be-
fore serving. A table -spoonful of curry powder, mixed with
a little cold water, and stirred in with the other seasoning,

will give a delicious curry of game. When curry is used, the
rice border is the best of those mentioned above.
Game Cutlets a la Roy ale.
One quart of the tender parts of cold game, cut into dice ;
one generous pint of rich stock, one-third of a box of gela-
tine, one quart of any kind of force-meat, lour cloves, one
table -spoonful of onion juice, two of butter, one of flour,
three eggs, one pint of bread or cracker crumbs, salt, pepper.
Soak the gelatine for one hour in half a cupful of cold water.
Put the butter in a frying-pan, and when hot, add the flour.
Stir until smooth and brown, and add the stock and season-
ing. Simmer ten minutes ; strain upon the game, and sim-
mer fifteen minutes longer. Beat an egg and add to the
gelatine. Stir this into the game and sauce and take from
the fire instantly. Place the stew-pan in a basin of cold
water, and stir until it begins to cool ; then turn the mixture
into a shallow baking pan, having it about an inch thick. Set
on the ice to harden. When hard, cut into cutlet-shaped
pieces with a knife that has been dipped in hot water. When
all the mixture is cut, put the pan in another of warm water
for half a minute. This will loosen the cutlets from the bot-
tom of the pan. Take them out carefully, cover every part
of each cutlet with force-meat, and set on ice until near serv-
ing time. When ready to cook them, beat the two eggs with
a spoon. Cover the cutlets with this and the crumbs.
Place a few at a time in the frying basket, and plunge them in-
to boiling fat. Fry two minutes. Drain, and place on
brown paper until all are cooked.✪ Salmis of Game
