showing once again, Honesty is not always the best policy. Perhaps The Bird is a Student of our current administration. o dear, i promised myself not to think about it.
1 little birdie (the cuter the tastier) 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon lemon juice ½ teaspoon celery salt 2 tablespoons flour 1 cup cream 1 egg ¼ teaspoon pepper
Being careful not to damage its little soul, terminate the little bird's existence, then hang it upside down to drain its blood. Dress, wash and cut up the little birdie. Wipe each piece of the little birdie, sprinkle with salt and pepper, roll in flour, brown in butter; cover with boiling water and simmer for forty minutes. Tear away the little birdie's flesh, reduce the stock to 1 pint, to be used for sauce. For the sauce melt butter, add flour and seasonings, cook together; add the broth and lemon juice, a little at a time, and cook until smooth. Add the scalded cream, pour this slowly over the egg well beaten, stir well. Arrange the pieces of the little birdie on a hot platter in a segmented puzzle manner. Garnish with toast points and pour the hot sauce over all. Enjoy the little birdie.
