Original Text
To dress COD SOUNDS like little TURKEYS. BOIL your sounds as for eating, but not too much, take them up, and let them stand till they are quite cold, then take a forcemeat of chop- ped oysters, crumbs of bread, a lump of but- ter, nutmeg, pepper, salt, and the yolks of two eggs, fill your sounds with it, and skewer them up in the shape of a turkey, then lard them down each side, as you would do a turkey's breast, dust them well with flour, and put them in a tin oven to roast before the fire, and baste them well with butter: when they are enough pour on them oyster sauce; three are sufficient for a side dish; garnish with barberries; it is a pretty side dish for a large table, for a dinner in Lent.
