Roast Squirrels

Clean the squirrels thoroughly, wash in several waters and lay for an hour on a platter covered with olive oil mixed with lemon juice or a little tarragon vinegar. Soak a cup of bread crumbs in just enough thick cream to moisten them, add a cup of button mushrooms cut in dice, pepper, salt and onion juice. Stuff each squirrel with this mixture, sew and truss as you would a fowl. Rub with butter, place in dripping-pan and nearly cover with brown stock diluted with a cup of boiling water. When the squirrels are well roasted, make a gravy out of the liquor in the pan, by adding a teaspoon of worcestershire sauce, and paprika, salt and lemon juice to taste.
