Plover, Golden, Roasted

Truss like woodcock, and roast before a brisk fire. Put a slice of toasted bread about half an inch thick under the birds, and baste constantly with butter until sufficiently cooked. Serve the plovers on the toast, which should be well saturated with the basting and the trail. Pour some good gravy over them in the dish (see GRAVY FOR GAME). Time, about a quarter of an hour to roast. Probable cost, 2s. 6d. per brace. Sufficient, a brace for two persons.
