Original Text

Torpedos.
(Torpedos.)
Take half a pint of double cream that is whipped stiff, and then seasoned with a pinch of white pepper, and a little cayenne and salt, and mix with a good tablespoonful of chicken or any game cut in little square pieces, the same quantity of tongue, two tablespoonfuls of cooked sweetbread or blanched calves brains, a tablespoonful of cut truffle and mushroom mixed together, and put by means of a forcing bag and plain pipe into little red edged paper cases, so that it stands a little above the edge of the case. Set to get quite cold in the ice cave or refrigerator for about one hour; serve with a little chopped pistachio on the top of each; dish up on a dish-paper or napkin. This quantity will be sufficient to make six or eight cases, and is a nice way to use up any cold chicken or sweetbread.
