Partridge Pie
Dress nicely and divide in halves, rub with pepper, salt and flour, drop in a little parsley and thyme, also mushrooms, if you can get them. Put in a few slices of ham and a pound of veal, cut in slices and placed in bottom of dish. Add the partridges and pour over them a pint of broth or gravy. This will be sufficient for five birds. If you find that there is not enough gravy, add water with a large piece of butter. Place over the dish a good pie crust and bake one hour.
