Show f V Hints Abut Game Never wash game, inside or out; merely wipe it with a cloth wrung out in hot water. Badly shot birds should not bo hung long. The length of time a bird is hung must depend on the weather, the state of the bird and individual taste. Snipe, woodcock and plover should never be drawn. Tie the birds, is possible, with string instead of using skewers, for the latter makes holes through which the juices escape. Tie a slice of fat bacon over the breast of each bird to keep It from drying. Baste all game very thoroughly; otherwise it will become dry and shriveled. Game, except partridge and pheasant, pheas-ant, Is usually best slightly underdone. This is especially the case with teal and wild duck. Never pour gravy over game, but servo it separately in a hot tureen. Tho correct accompaniments to all game are bread sauce, fried crumbs, good gravy and potatoes fried in any fashion. |
