Paging through Venus in the Kitchen or Love's Cookery Book by
Pilaff Bey (pseudonym of Norman Douglas), I came across the following: Rôti Sans Pareil. Going from the smallest item to the largest, we have a large olive stuffed with a paste of anchovies, capers and oil; a trussed and boned garden warbler; a fat ortolan; a boned lark; a boned thrush; a fat quail; a boned lapwing; a boned golden plover; a fat, boned, red-legged partridge; a young, boned, well-hung woodcock rolled in crumbs; a boned teal; a boned, well-larded guinea-fowl; a young, boned, tame duck; a boned, fat fowl; a well-hung pheasant5; a boned, fat, wild goose; a fine turkey; and a boned bustard. This was apparently an abbreviated form of a recipe that was in A. T. Raimbault's Le Parfait Cuisinier (1814). Douglas points out some problems, like the impossibility of stuffing larger birds into smaller ones (e.g., stuffing a lapwing into a plover). You can compare Douglas's rendition with that on page 92 of Raimbault's book via goog1e, assuming you can read French: <http://books.google.com/books?id=rtNqrNGoXEwC&printsec=frontcover&source=g bs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false> or http://tinyurl.com/b5beend |
