To make a Brown Fricasey.
YOU must take your rabbits or chickens and skin them, then cut them into small pieces, and rub them over with yolks of eggs. Have ready some grated bread, a little beaten mace, and a little grated nutmeg, mixed together, then roll them in it; put a little butter into your stew-pan, and when it is melted put in your meat. Fry it of a fine brown, and take care they don't stick to the bottom of the pan, then pour the butter from them, and pour in half a pint of gravy, a glass of red wine, a few mushrooms, or two spoonfuls of the pickle, a little salt (if wanted) and a piece of butter rolled in flour. When it is of a fine thickness dish it up, and send it to table.
