cleaning the inside of poultry or game be sure not to break the gall
bladder, for it will give a bitter taste to the meat. Be equally careful
not to tear the intestines near the gizzard, as it will make the inside
dirty and spoil the whole bird.




POULTRY AND POULTRY DRESSINGS


~BOHEMIAN CHICKEN~--Select a young and tender chicken and prepare as for
frying or broiling. Place in a frying pan a pat of butter and place on
the fire. Beat to a smooth, thin batter two eggs, three spoonfuls of
milk and a little flour, season, dip each piece of the chicken in this
batter and fry a rich brown in the heated butter.


~CHICKEN A LA TARTARE~--Have a chicken dressed and split down the back;
it should not weigh over two and a half pounds. Put one quarter cup of
butter in a frying pan with a teaspoon of finely minced parsley, half a
teaspoon of salt and a little pepper. Brown each half of the chicken in
the butter and on both sides. Take up the chicken, brush the inside over
with an egg beaten with one tablespoon of cold water, lay in a dripping
pan and dust over the egg half a cup of fine bread crumbs mixed with the
same amount of minced cooked ham. Set in a hot oven and finish cooking.
Serve on a hot dish with sauce tartare. The chicken will cook best if
laid in a wire broiler resting on the dripping pan.
