Larded Grouse

Clean and thoroughly wash a grouse, and lard the legs and breast, placing a skewer through the legs and tail; rub some warmed butter over the breast, then dredge it over with a little salt and plenty of flour. Place it on a bakingdish and set it in a brisk oven, and cook for from twenty to thirty minutes. Cover a hot dish with bread sauce, put the grouse on it, and sprinkle over some fried breadcrumbs. Garnish with parsley, and serve.
