Chapter XVI · Poultry (Volaille) · No. 1940
1940—Vanneaux (Lapwings)
These various birds are generally served roasted.
They may also be served “en Salmis,” but in that case the skin must be discarded in the preparation of the cullis.
They only appear on very ordinary menus, and could not be served at an important dinner.
