paprika and putting a few grains on the body of the bird. Also garnish
with three eggs made from cheese, colored green and speckled with
paprika.
Note.--Do not use apple pulp.

moistened with cream or mayonnaise dressing. Spread top with dressing
and sprinkle with thin parings cut from round red radishes finely
chopped. Insert a small piece of parsley on top of handle. Arrange on
watercress.

parsley, having equal parts of each.
