Original Text
For this purpose, it is necessary to order one or more dozens of very small round or oval rolls, about the size of an egg; cut a small piece off the top of each, about the circumference of half-a-crown piece, and remove all the crumb from the inside. These rolls must then be filled with the following preparation. First, shred the white meat from the breast of a roast fowl, and put this in a basin; then shred the fillets of six washed anchovies, and some red tongue, dressed ham in equal proportion to the fowl, and place these with the latter; add about one-sixth part of the yolks of Indian gherkins or mangoes; also three fine seasons with a little chopped tarragon and chervil; add sufficient Rémoulade sauce (No. 35) to moisten the whole, and use the preparation as directed above. The rolls must then be covered with the circular pieces reserved for the purpose, and dished up on a napkin. Note.—These sandwiches may also be prepared with lobster; in which case, neither ham nor tongue should be used.
