Partridge A La Paysanne Recipe
When you have picked and drawn them, truss and put them on a skewer, tie
them to a spit, and lay them to roast. Put a piece of fat bacon on a
toasting fork, and hold it over the birds, that as it melts it may drop
upon them while roasting. After basting them well in this manner, strew
over a few crumbs of bread and a little salt, cut fine some shalots,
with a little gravy, salt and pepper, and the juice of half a lemon. Mix
all these over the fire; thicken them up; pour them into a dish, and lay
your partridges upon them.
