Salmis of Pigeons

Cut some cold cooked pigeons into nice pieces, season them on both sides with salt and pepper, and flour them well; put them in a stewpan with a little cold water, one ounce of butter, a few drops of mushroom catsup, and boil over a slow fire for a few minutes. When done turn the salmis onto a hot dish, garnish it with sippets of toast or croutons of fried bread, and serve.
