Chicken Relish, for Journeys, Picnics, or for Company.2
Chicken meat is so tender and soft it is very difficult to chop it, hence we do not advise it, unless the chopping-knife is sharper than they are usually found.
Roast Pigeons and Bread Sauce for Same. —Dress, wash and wipe dry, i, e, absorb all the water you can with a napkin or towel, unless you have plenty of time to drain them dry. Truss them, secure the wings and legs to the body by skewers or twine; mix salt and pepper together and rub them well on the inside, and also put a piece of butter into each, the size of a large shell-bark hickory nut. Lay upon sticks in the dripping-pan, put in hot water and butter to baste with, and put into a quick oven, covering with brown paper, if needed, to prevent burning. If the oven is hot enough, 30 to 45 minutes will do them nicely, if basted often enough.
