ReplyDeleteAre the measurements in grams, ounces, cups, or milliliters? It reminds me of the recipes I found in an old English cookbook - they are very interesting, but seem impossible to properly reproduce.
ReplyDeleteThe layouts accompanying recipes of this publication, and given a set number of products in grams net weight (net) on one portion or 1 kg, or 100 pieces of finished products. Tab 'ABOUT' in top bar :)
DeleteI would love to see a finished picture of this dish -- it sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, in 1955 the Soviet Union had few photos :)
DeleteVery interesting!
ReplyDeleteI must admit I have never had pheasant. It sounds like a simple and yet delicious meal. I love finding recipes from other countries!
ReplyDeleteI love roasted chestnuts and often add them to my salads in the autumn.
