Take half a dozen small chickens, season them with mace, pepper and
salt, both inside and out; then take three or four veal sweet-breads,
season them with the same, and lay round them a few forc'd-meat-balls,
put in a little water and butter; take a little white sweet gravy not
over strong, shred a few oysters if you have any, and a little
lemon-peel, squeeze in a little lemon juice, not to make it sour; if
you have no oysters take the whitest of your sweet breads and boil
them, cut them small, and put them in your gravy, thicken it with a
little butter and flour; when you open the pie, if there is any fat,
skim it off, and pour the sauce over the chicken breasts; so serve it
up without lid.
