them put 6 fine quail boned and stuffed. 5. Round these put 12 larks,
boned. 6. Cut a little bacon and dice and sprinkle them into the pie. 7.
Put in some sour grapes and a very little salt. 8. And fill up with boned

comes from the oven pour it, hot, into the pie by means of a funnel placed
in the hole in the middle of the lid.
