Pigeons, Stewed, with Asparagus

Prepare and stew the pigeons as in either of the two last recipes. Cut off the green tender points from fifty heads of asparagus, and divide these into pieces not more than the third of an inch in length. Wash them well, and blanch them in boiling water. When the pigeons are almost done enough, put in the asparagus, and simmer again until they are tender. Time, about an hour to stew the asparagus. Probable cost, 3s. 6d. Sufficient for two or three persons.
