Reed birds are skinned and cooked whole, but rarely cleaned. The most approved way of cooking them is te put three or four on a skewer and broil; or wrap them one by one in salt pork or bacon—-put on a skewer and roast seven or eight minutes in a hot oven and serve on slices of fried hominy, with watercress on nice, white chicory. Sometimes they are cleaned and stuffed with a little sweet potato before wrapping in bacon and broiling. In nearly all the larger cities the most of the reed birds found in the markets are sparrows.
