Chicken Terrapin

Directions

1. Boil the chicken, not quite so much as for salad, and cut in small pieces, fat, skin, and giblets as well.
2. Boil the brains and sweetbreads in salted water, and the mushrooms until somewhat tender.
3. Cut all in small pieces, add to the chopped chicken, and put all in a saucepan with enough of the chicken broth to barely cover.
4. Add the cream and the butter rolled in.
5. A little flour.
6. Grate a little nutmeg, season with salt and pepper to taste, add half the quantity of sherry and boil until all the ingredients are well mixed and tender.
7. Just before serving add the rest of the sherry and serve boiling hot.
