Pigeons.--Cut them in half, either from top to bottom or across. The lower part
is generally thought the best; but the fairest way is to cut from the neck to a,
figure 7, rather than fromc to b, by a, which is the most fashionable. The
figure represents the back of the pigeon; and the direction of the knife is in
the line c, b, by a, if done the last way.
