Small Birds in Savoury JELLY.
TAKE eight small birds, with their heads
and feet on, put a good lump of butter in them
and sew up their vents, put them in a jug, cover
it close with a cloth, set them in a kettle of
boiling water till they are enough, drain them,
make your jelly as before, put a little into a
bason, when it is set lay in three birds with their
breasts down, cover them with the jelly, when
it is set put the other five with the heads in the
middle, fill up your bowl with jelly as before,
and turn it out the same way.
