  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3                    Game hens -- halved
     3/4   c            Olive oil
   4                    Garlic cloves -- crushed
   3       tb           Dry sherry
   3       ds           Tabasco sauce, or to taste
   1       tb           Fine chopped fresh rosemary
   1                    Lemon -- juice only
                        Salt -- or to taste
                        Freshly ground black -
                        Pepper -- to taste

     Split each bird in half, using either a Chinese
  cleaver or poultry shears.  Set aside.
     Using a very large bowl mix the remaining
  ingredients together. Marinate the bird halves in this
  mixture for 1 hour, turning often.
     Broil in an electric oven 7 or 8 minutes on a side,
  or on a charcoal barbecue.  I prefer the charcoal, but
  be sure the coals are not too hot. Cook to your
  preference.
  
     Variation:  You can use this same recipe for squab
  or quail.  Just remember to cut down on the cooking
  time according to the size of the bird.
  
    Comments:  The smell of rosemary and garlic in the
  air always makes me think of the back streets of the
  villages on the edge of Rome.
     You can have a fine Roman party with this dish.
  You can even urge your guests to place themselves on
  their sides on cushions and eat with only their
  fingers, as they did in ancient Rome.  Slaves had to
  eat sitting upright, but free citizens reclined.
