Woodcock And Snipe

Some epicures say that the woodcock should never be drawn, but that they should be fastened to a small bird-spit, and should be put to roast before a clear fire; a slice of toast put in a pan below each bird in order to catch the trail; baste them with melted butter; lay the toast on a hot dish, and the birds on the toast. They require from fifteen to twenty minutes to roast.

Snipe are dressed in the same manner, but require less time to cook.
