Take your Pigeons (if they be not very young) cut them into four
quarters, one sweet-bread sliced the long way, that it may be thin, and
the pieces not too big, one Sheeps tongue, little more then parboyl'd,
and the skin puld off, and the tongue cut in slices, two or three slices
of Veale, as much of Mutton, young chicken (if not little) quarter them,
Chick-heads, Lark, or any such like, Pullets, Coxcombs, Oysters,
Calves-Udder cut in pieces, good store of Marrow for seasoning, take as
much Pepper and Salt as you think fit to season it slightly; good store
of sweet Marjoram, a little Time and Lemon-Pill fine sliced; season it
well with these Spices as the time of the year will afford; put in
either of Chesnuts (if you put in Chesnuts they must first be either
boyl'd or roasted) Gooseberries or Guage, large Mace will do well in
this Pye, then take a little piece of Veale parboyl'd and slice it very
fine, as much Marrow as meat stirred amongst it, then take grated Bread,
as much as a quarter of the meat, four yolks of Eggs or more according
to the stuffe you make, shred Dates as small as may be, season it with
salt, but not too salt. Nutmeg as much as will season it, sweet Marjoram
pretty store very small shred, work it up with as much sweet Creame as
will make it up in little Puddings, some long, some round, so put as
many of them in the Pye as you please; put therein two or three
spoonfulls of Gravy of Mutton, or so much strong Mutton broth before you
put it in the Oven, the bottome of boyled Artichokes, minced Marrow over
and in the bottom of the Pye after your Pye is baked; when you put it
up, have some five yolks of Eggs minced, and the juyce of two or three
Oranges, the meat of one Lemon cut in pieces, a little White and Claret
Wine; put this in your Pye being well mingled, and shake it very well
together.
_To boyle a Capon or Hen._
Take a young Capon or Hen, when you draw them, take out the fall of the
Leafe clean away, and being well washed, fill the belly with Oysters;
prepare some Mutton, the neck, but boyle it in smal peices and skim it
well, then put your Capon into the Pipkin, and when it is boyled, skim
it again; be sure you have no more water then will cover your meat, then
put it into a pint of white wine, some Mace, two or three Cloves and
whole Pepper; a quarter of an hour before your meat be boyled enough,
put into the Pipkin, three Anchoves stript from the Bones and washed,
and be sure you put Salt at the first to your meat; a little Parsley
Spinage, Endive, Sorrell, Rose-mary, or such kind of Herbs will do well
to boyle with the Broth, and being ready to Dish it, having sippets cut
then take the Oysters out of the Capon, and lay them in the Dish with
the Broth, and put some juyce of Lemons and Orange into it according to
your taste.
