To make the Italian, take Coriander seed two Ounces, Aniseed one ounce,
Fennel-seed one ounce, Cloves two ounces, Cinamon one ounce; These must
be beaten into a grosse powder, putting into it a little powder of
Winter-savoury; if you like it, keep this in a Vial-glasse close stopt
for your use.
_To dresse Soales._
Take a Pair of Soales, lard them through with watered fresh Salmon, then
lay your Soales on a Table, or Pie-plate, cut your Salmon, lard all of
an equal length on each side, and leave the Lard but short, then flower
the Soales, and fry them in the best Ale you can get; when they are
fryed lay them in a warme Pie-plate, and so serve them to the Table with
a Sallet dish full of Anchovy sauce, and three or four Oranges.
_To make Furmity._
Take a quart of Creame, a quarter of a pound of French-barley the
whitest you can get, and boyle it very tender in three or four severall
waters, and let it be cold, then put both together, put in it a blade of
Mace, a Nutmeg cut in quarters, a race of Ginger cut in three or five
pieces, and so let it boyle a good while, still stirring, and season it
with Sugar to your tast, then take the yolks of four Eggs and beat them
with a little Cream, and stir them into it, and so let it boyle a little
after the Egs are in, then have ready blanched and beaten twenty Almonds
kept from oyling, with a little Rose-water, then take a boulter,
strainer, and rub your Almonds with a little of your Furmity through the
strainer, but set on the fire no more, and stir in a little Salt and a
little sliced Nutmeg, pickt out of the great peices of it, and put it in
a dish, and serve it.
_To make Patis, or Cabbage Cream._
Take thirty Ale pints of new milke, and set it on the fire in a Kettle
till it be scalding hot, stirring it oft to keep it from creaming, then
put in forth, into thirty Pans of Earth, as you put it forth, take off
the bubbles with a spoon, let it stand till it be cold, then take off
the Cream with two such slices as you beat Bisket bread with, but they
must be very thin and not too broad, then when the Milk is dropped off
the Cream, you must lay it upon a Pye-plate, you must scour the Kettle
very clean and heat the Milk again, and so four or five times. In the
lay of it, first lay a stalk in the midst of the Plate, let the rest of
the Cream be laid upon that sloping, between every laying you must
scrape Sugar and sprinkle Rose-water, and if you will, the powder of
Musk, and Amber-greece, in the heating of the Milk be carefull of smoak.
_To make Pap._
