Petit Pain de Bécassines.—Prepare a brown crème
mixture with the flesh of some raw snipe, using the
broken up carcasses to make a rich and strongly
flavoured Espagnole sauce. Take the flesh from the
breast of a cooked snipe and cut it into Julienne
strips, and some truffles to match, moistening this
with a little of the sauce made from the snipe,
boiled in till thick. Now half fill some well buttered
bombe moulds with the crème mixture, then put in a
spoonful of the Julienne, and cover with more of the
farce; poach in the usual manner, turn out and
serve with the sauce above mentioned.
