Ham Pies
Each mortal has his pleasure; none deny
Scarsdale his bottle, Darby his ham pie.
Dodsley.
Take two pounds of veal cutlets, cut them in middling sized pieces, season with pepper and a very little salt; likewise one of raw or dressed ham, cut in slices, lay it alternately in the dish, and put some forced or sausage meat at the top, with some stewed mushrooms, and the yolks of three eggs boiled hard, and a gill of water; then proceed as with rumpsteak pie.
N. B. The best end of a neck is the fine part for a pie, cut into chops, and the chine bone taken away.
