Backbone Pie
Take the smallest end of the backbone, cut in pieces two or three inches long; put in water and boil until done. Make nice rich pastry as for chicken pie; line the sides of a baking dish with the pastry, put in the bones, adding some water in which they were boiled; also salt, butter, and pepper to taste, with bits of pastry.
Cover top of baking-dish with pastry; put in stove and brown nicely.--Mrs. G. B.
