To Roast Red Deer or Roe

(An Old Holyrood Recipe, supplied to the Cleikum Club by P. Winterblossom, Esq.)

‘This was one of those original receipts on which our old beau plumed himself not a little. This mode of dressing venison, he said, had been invented by the Master of the Kitchen to Mary of Guise, and had been ever since preserved a profound secret by the noble family of M——, till the late Earl communicated it to himself.’—Annals of the Cleikum Club.
