French Pie

Line a dish with puff paste, and fill it with a mince of cold roast veal and grated ham; add two dozen oysters, bearded, which place, with a good seasoning of salt, mace, and lemon-peel, in alternate layers with the meat. Pour in a small cup of gravy, the liquor from the oysters, and a table-spoonful of mushroom ketchup, mixed together. Cover with paste, and remove from the oven when the paste is done. Time, about half an hour. Probable cost of oysters, 1s. 9d. to 2s. per dozen. Two pounds of mince is sufficient for five or six persons.
