=Sage and Potato Stuffing.=--Should you give the preference to the
old-fashioned potato-and-sage stuffing, such as your grandmother used to
make, fashion it in this way: peel and boil for half an hour a half
dozen good-sized potatoes. Mash well and season with one tablespoonful
salt, and a teaspoonful pepper, two tablespoonfuls of white onions
minced fine, and cooked in a tablespoonful of butter and a teaspoonful
of sage. Mix lightly and stuff.
=Bag Roasted Young Guinea Fowl.=--It is but a few years ago
comparatively that the excellence of the guinea fowl for the table was
duly recognized. Most people were afraid to try them. Now the guinea is
not only being served in all the best restaurants, but in many private
homes as well. While the young guineas make the choicest eating, the old
birds are not to be despised. In stuffing the guinea any approved turkey
stuffing may be used, the accompaniments being as with turkey, giblet
gravy and cranberry sauce. In roasting a very little water goes into the
bag, instead thin pieces of fat, salt pork are skewered across the
breast and around the drum sticks.
=Bag Broiled Young Guinea Hen.=--For bag broiling, split down the back
and flatten. Brush over with vegetable oil or melted butter, put in
buttered bag and bake in gas oven or hot coal oven. Lay on a hot
platter, season with salt and pepper, spread with a rounding
tablespoonful butter stirred with a tablespoonful finely minced parsley,
garnish with watercress and little moulds or spoonfuls of cranberry
jelly and serve.
=Quail.=--As for cooking quail there is no better way than to roast them
plain, with plenty of red pepper and a little salt. For those who
prefer, an excellent way is to serve them with bacon, which supplies the
fat which all game birds lack.
Take a half dozen quail, wipe with a damp cloth, split them and break
the leg bones. Mix together a teaspoonful of pure olive or cotton seed
oil, a dash of cayenne and a tiny bit of salt. Brush the birds with this
mixture and put in well-greased bag, seal, put in oven and roast fifteen
minutes. Arrange six slices of delicately browned toast on a hot
platter, place the birds on the slices and baste with a mixture of good
butter, minced parsley and the juice of a half dozen lemons. Garnish
with slices of crisped bacon and watercress.
=Quail No. 2.=--Place four quail in a wooden dish with a link of sausage
between the birds and a strip of bacon laid on each. Put in bag, seal,
and bake twenty-five minutes.
=Stuffed Quail.=--Put into each bird a half prune or fat raisin, with a
bit of butter and a few well seasoned bread crumbs. Wrap each bird in a
slice of bacon, fastening with string or tooth picks and put in
well-buttered bag. Seal and place on broiler and bake about twenty-five
minutes, reducing the heat during the last half of the time.
