Receipt
It is an ideal occupation for children
on a wet afternoon
put them head to tail in an oven proof dish
and remove any pips
score as above or into little bars
do not roll for this also toughens
cover with foil with a weight on top
wrap the birds in the bacon rashers
melt the fat in a saucepan
turn over when little bubbles appear
whip the egg whites very stiff
then coat the other side
take out with a perforated spoon
add watercress, fried oatmeal or skirlie
when cut it is a soft pink butter
the gravy is served separately.
