Traditional game pies - bones and all

So, how do you eat them? Other than carefully? 

This week, while emptying the freezer, I made a Snipe pudding, compete with truffles - the works. Its something I've wanted to make for years and it's delicious - the only problem, as the birds go in whole, is the bones.

I've read in Mrs Beetons book that her recipie for Pigeon Pie (Epsom Grand Stand recipie) is also a bones in affair, and if memory serves me correctly, Evelyn Waugh made some scathing remarks about the game pies in London clubs with chared bit of bone and ribcage sticking out - so it's obviously been quite a common, or at least not unusual, sort of thing.

Anyone able to shed any light on it?

Going to be honest here and say that sounds awful. 

Haha, which one?

The snipe suet pudding, which I attach an image of below, or the pigeon, sausage meat and redcurrent jelly pie linked to above?

Any kind of meat with pudding or jelly in the name,  but probably taste well just sounds bad.  😂
