Another recipe from The Heart of the Settlement Cook Book.  It looks mega-yummy!

Hot Ham Sandwiches

1/2 lb. cold boiled ham                                                           2 eggs

Prepared English Mustard                                                      3/4 cup milk

8 slices day-old bread                                                            2 tablespoons butter

Chop or grind the ham very fine, and moisten thoroughly with the prepared mustard.  Spread a layer of this mixture between thin slices of bread and press firmly together.  Beat the eggs slightly, add milk, and beat again, dip sandwich in this egg mixture and saute until a golden brown on both sides.  Cut the sandwiches diagonally.

Roast Partridge

Pick, draw and wash the birds, bind them with thin slices of bacon.  Roast in pan 15 minutes in hot oven.  Remove bacon, salt lightly, place in oven to brown.  When done pour over 1 cup of cream and sprinkle bread crumbs, browned in butter over the top.
