Grapefruit, Cardinal. Peel four grapefruit and slice them. Drain off the juice, and put the slices in supreme glasses. Force two small baskets of fresh raspberries through a fine sieve, put in a bowl, add two spoonfuls of powdered sugar and one pony of kirschwasser, mix well, and pour over the grapefruit.

Cold pheasant pie. Cut the breasts from two pheasants, and trim carefully. Put all of the trimmings and the meat of the legs without the bones, in an earthern jar; add three chopped shallots, and a bouquet garni, cover with sherry wine, and allow to stand for two days. Simmer the bones, with an onion, carrot, and a little celery, in two ounces of butter, until slightly brown. Then cover with a quart of stock, and cook slowly until reduced one-half. Keep this to mix with the forcemeat. Pass through a fine meat chopper one pound of veal, and one pound of not-too-fat pork; and season with salt, pepper and a little allspice. Have a special game pie or pate form lined with pate dough. Put a layer of forcemeat in the bottom, then a few pieces of the breasts cut in long narrow strips, and a strip of larding pork cut the same size. Lay the strips lengthwise of the pie. Add a few peeled blanched or parboiled pistachio nuts, then another layer of forcemeat, and so continue until the form is full. Cover the top with thin layer of larding pork, and then cover all with dough. Moisten the edges where the dough comes together, and close carefully, so there will be no leak. Cut a round hole in the center and insert a little chimney made of a small piece of stiff paper; otherwise the dough will close while cooking. Put in the oven and cook for one and one-half hours. Then allow to become cold, remove the paper chimney, fill the hole with meat jelly, and put in ice box until set. Cut in thin slices.

Pate dough. One pound of flour, one-quarter pound of butter, three eggs, one-half pony of water. Mix the butter and flour between the hands, then add the eggs and water, and season with a little salt. Let the dough set in the ice box a few hours before using.

Potage Dagobert. Mix one quart of puree of peas, one pint of consomme Julienne, and one pint of consomme aux perles de Nizam.

Tournedos, Porte Maillot. Season four small tenderloin steaks with salt

and pepper; roll in oil, and broil. Place on a platter, and garnish with carrots and turnips cut in small balls, boiled and tossed in butter, salt and pepper. Also four potatoes cut in the shape of wooden shoes, fried in hot swimming lard, and filled with puree of spinach. Pour sauce Madere over the meat.

Fillet of sole, a la Frangaise. Lay four fillets of sole flat on a table, spread with fish forcemeat (see Timbale of bass), roll up and place in a buttered pan. Season with salt and white pepper, add one-half glass of white wine and one-half cup of fish stock, bouillon or water. Cover with buttered paper, and set in oven for fifteen minutes. Then take out and place the fillets on a platter. Add to the pan one pint of white wine sauce, boil for two minutes, and strain. Then add to the sauce a spoonful of well-seasoned lobster butter, one dozen French mushrooms, and two sliced truffles. Pour the sauce over the fish, and garnish with four ecrevisses en buisson.
