I'll have to look up the exact recipe, but I think it's from Dumas. The gist is: take a cow fill it with a pig fill it with a sheep fill that with a turkey fill that with a goose ... last step: fill with a sparrow Cook for a couple days. Spices etc. Take the resulting spoonful of sauce from the sparrow. Throw away the rest and start cooking.
