Veal Pie, Superlative

Butter a dish, and fill it with alternate layers of lean veal cut into neat pieces and seasoned with pepper, salt, and pounded mace, lean ham sliced, sweetbread, and chopped truffles. Place little pieces of butter here and there in the pie. Cover the dish with rich pastry, and bake till done. After the pie is taken from the oven, pour into it through the hole in the centre some gravy made of strong, highly-seasoned veal stock mixed with a glassful of champagne.
