When your Water boils, put in your Partridge, let it boil ten Minutes, then take it up into a Pewter-plate, and cut it in two, laying the Insides next the Plate, and have ready some Bread-Sauce made thus: Take the Crumb of a Halfpenny Role, or thereabouts, and boil it in
Thus you may dress any Sort of Wild Fowl, only boiling it more or less according to the Bigness.
Ducks, take off the Skins before you pour the Bread-Sauce over them; and if you roast them, lay Bread-Sauce under them. It is lighter than Gravy for weak Stomachs.
