of
salt
and
two
of
butter.

DEVILED
is
a
favorite
dish
in
the
menage
of
a
New
DUCK
York
bachelor,
who
always
makes
it
the
piece
de
resistance
of
his
meal.
The
skin
having
been
removed
from
a
cold
roast
duck
and
the
bird
cut
in
pieces
of
a
convenient
size,
he
proceeds
as
follows:
The
livers
are
mashed
with
a
spoonful
of
dry
mustard,
a
teaspoonful
of
salt,
two
tablespoonfuls
of
lemon
juice
and
a
dash
of
cayenne,
to
a
smooth
paste
in
the
blazer,
in
which
two
tablespoonfuls
of
butter
have
been
melt-
ing.
The
same
amount
of
water
is
added,
and
finally,
a
gill
of
good
old
Madeira.
When
this
Is
smoking
hot,
the
pieces
of
duck
are
added
and
left
to
simmer
until
smoking
hot,
too.
"A
says
an
English
bachelor
whose
suppers
at
DEVILED
his
Jermyn
Street
chambers
are
famous
KIDNEY,
feasts,
*'
is
the
most
delicious
morsel
ever
enjoyed
by
an
epicure."
Sheep's
kidneys
of
course
are
used,
and
split
in
half
with
the
skin
and
white
mem-
brane removed.
Put
two
ounces
of
butter
in
a
sauce-
pan,
and
when
hot
throw
in
the
kidneys,
dust
with
salt
and
pepper
and
cook
quickly.
Throw
over
them
a
tablespoonful
of
onion
juice,
tablespoonful
of
Wor-
cestershire
sauce
and
four
tablespoonfuls
of
sherry.
Have
your
plates
hot
and
the
ale
tankards
brimming.
With
a
bit
of
bread
and
some
ripe
old
Stilton
to
fol-
low,
these
make
a
supper
fit
for
a
saint
or
sinner.
