The Epicure's Almanac or Diary of Good Living
December 15th : HASHED WIDGEON, TEAL OR WILD DUCK
It is not possible to make a good hash of wild fowl over roasted; to eat this dish in perfection, the birds should be half dressed expressly for the purpose. Cut them into joints,mix the juice of two Seville oranges with two table-spoonfuls of Reading or home-made sauce, a gill of port wine, a tea-spoonful of mushroom powder, and four artichoke bottoms, broken into bits; see that you have enough to cover the flesh, adding a little more of each liquid if necessary ; make it boil, and ten minutes before the hash is required, put in the meat, and let it simmer gently for that time.
