Salmis of Pigeons

Chopped pigeon meat stewed with mushroom catsup.

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.
