Partridge and Grouse (Bone scooping out)

bone, scooping out the merrythought, and readily separating it from its bony attachments. If the legs are now to be removed, the fork is taken out of the breast, and by sticking the prongs in the leg, with the knife laid flat against the side, they are readily lifted out of the sockets, and torn as it were from the body. The neck-bones are now twisted off with the fork, after which the breast is removed whole by cutting through the ribs with the knife, and then a separation of the back-bone in the middle divides the remaining part of the body into the back and neck. The former of these may again have its sidebones easily removed with the knife, each containing a delicious morsel in a sort of spoon-shaped cavity, which is much prized by the gourmand.
