lEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

For green, pound spinach-leaves or beet-leaves, express
the juice, and boil in a teacup in a saucepan of water
to take off the rawness.

PARTRIDGE PlE.—Four birds will make a good
sized pie, but for a supper dish a brace will be sufficient.
Take out the livers, chop them small with three or
four sprigs of parsley, two eschalots, and a small
quantity of powdered mace ; beat these up with two
eggs, and add finely-grated bread-crumbs until you
have formed a proper forcemeat. Fill the birds with
this, and either lard them or wrap them in thin slices
of the fat of dressed ham. Cover the bottom of the
pie-dish with the forcemeat, and fill up the space
between the birds with the same, cover with a light
paste, ornament to your taste, and bake for forty
minutes in a slow oven.

PULLED TURKEY.—Take the skin off a cold turkey,
and cut the meat into small bits ; put the bones and
the meat of all but the legs into a stewpan, cover with
veal-broth, add a spoonful of salt, half that quantity of
Cayenne, the juice of a lemon and half of its peel
shredded fine : let all simmer slowly until the meat is
thoroughly warmed, then take it out, strain the gravy
and add to it the yolks of two eggs and a teaspoonful
of flour. Warm the meat in this sauce for five
minutes when required for table.
