Lamprey Pie

Take one or two lampreys, clean them thoroughly, and cut them into pieces of convenient size. Line a pie-dish with puff pastry, then put in the lamprey, seasoned with salt, pepper, chopped parsley, and a little mace. Put a layer of sliced onions over the fish, then a layer of potatoes, then a layer of each in the same order. Pour over two glasses of good claret or half a pint of cider, and cover with puff paste. Bake for an hour.
