Take it and spit it, & lay it down to the fire, and when your Pig is
through warme, skin her, and cut her off the Spit as another Pig is, and
so divide it in twenty peeces more or lesse as you please; when you have
so done, take some White-wine and strong broth, and stew it therein,
with an Onion or two mixed very small, a little Time also minced with
Nutmeg sliced and grated Pepper, some Anchoves and Elder Vinegar, and a
very little sweet Butter, and Gravy if you have it, so Dish it up with
the same Liquor it is stewed in, with French Bread sliced under it, with
Oranges and Lemons.
_To make a Steake pye, with a French Pudding in the Pye._
Season your Steaks with Pepper & Nutmegs, and let it stand an hour in a
Tray then take a piece of the leanest of a Legg of Mutton and mince it
small with Suet and a few sweet herbs, tops of young Time, a branch of
Penny-royal, two or three of red Sage, grated bread, yolks of Eggs,
sweet Cream, Raisins of the Sun; work altogether like a Pudding, with
your hand stiff, and roul them round like Bals, and put them into the
Steaks in a deep Coffin, with a piece of sweet Butter; sprinkle a little
Verjuyce on it, bake it, then cut it up and roul Sage leaves and fry
them, and stick them upright in the wals, and serve your Pye without a
Cover, with the juyce of an Orange or Lemon.
_An excellent way of dressing Fish._
Take a piece of fresh Salmon, and wash it clean in a little Vinegar and
water, and let it lie a while in it, then put it into a great Pipkin
with a cover, and put to it some six spoonfuls of water and four of
Vinegar, and as much of white-wine, a good deal of Salt a handful of
sweet herbs, a little white Sorrel, a few Cloves, a little stick of
Cinamon, a little Mace; put all these in a Pipkin close, and set it in a
Kettle of seething water, and there let it stew three hours.
_You may do Carps, Eeles, Trouts, &c. this way, and they Tast also to
your mind._
_To fricate Sheeps-feet._
Take Sheeps-feet, slit the bone, and pick them very clean, then put them
in a Frying-pan, with a Ladlefull of strong Broth, a piece of Butter,
and a little Salt, after they have fryed a while, put to them a little
Parsley, green Chibals, a little young Speremint and Tyme, all shred
very small, and a little beaten Pepper; when you think they are fryed
almost enough, have a lear made for them with the yolks of two or three
Eggs, some Gravy of Mutton, a little Nutmegg, and juyce of a Lemon wrung
therein, and put this lear to the Sheeps feet as they fry in the Pan,
then toss them once or twice, and put them forth into the Dish you mean
to serve them in.
_To fricate Calves Chaldrons._
