I think the Moulded Rice is just that — hot rice pressed into a form. No recipe has appeared yet. I guess the addition of wine sauce makes it dessert.

Buttered Beets are probably just Boiled Beets tossed in melted butter, but I haven’t found a specific recipe.

Rolled Sandwiches may be Rolled Bread, the first entry in the Sandwiches and Canapés chapter. It’s thin slices of warm buttered bread, rolled and tied with ribbons.
