After cleaning the snipe, remove skin and eyes from the head, draw it down to the legs and skewer the bill through the lower part of the legs; pin a thin slice of larding pork around each bird and string them on a skewer. Season with salt, cayenne and black pepper. Roll the ends in melted butter or salad oil. Broil on either side 5 minutes. Serve on hot toast moisten with Maitre de Hotel butter. Garnish with watercress.
