  1. Bone and stuff the larks with pâté de foie gras, and make them as nearly as possible of the same size and shape.
  2. Make half a pint of brown sauce, adding a glass of sherry, a little mushroom ketchup, and an ounce of glaze; boil together, and reduce one half, adding a couple of spoonfuls of tomato juice; pass through a sieve, and, when nearly cold, add a gill of melted aspic.
  3. Mask the larks with the sauce, and place them in a sauté pan, and cook them.
  4. Take them out and remove neatly any surplus sauce, and dish them in the entrée dish in a circle.
  5. Take the contents of a tin of macédoine of vegetables boiled tender in a quart of water, add a dust of salt, a saltspoonful of sugar, and a piece of butter the size of a walnut; strain off, and, when cold, toss them in two tablespoonfuls of liquid aspic jelly.
  6. This macédoine should be piled up high and served in the centre.
  7. Garnish with chopped aspic round the larks, and sippets of aspic beyond this.
