No. 35 Lark Pie
Pick clean 4 dozen larks, singe them; cut off the wings and legs, take out the gizzards and place the larks on a dish. Cut 2 pounds veal cutlets and 1 pound of ham into scallops. Fry these in a pan with a little fresh butter, 1 can of mushrooms, some parsley, 1 small onion, half a bay leaf, 1 sprig of thyme chopped fine; season with cayenne and salt and the juice of lemon. To these add ¼ pint of mushroom catsup and the same quantity of rich gravy. Boil the whole for 3 minutes, then place the veal and ham scallops, one upon the other, in the bottom of the dish; put the larks neatly and closely to each other; upon them pour over the sauce, and put mushrooms in the centre. Cover with puff-paste. Bake pie 1¼ hours and serve.
