Take a Calves head, cleane it and wash it very well, put it a boyling
till it be three quarters boyled, then cut off the flesh from the bones,
and cut it in peices as big as Walnuts. Blaunch the Tongue and cut it in
slices, take a quart of Oysters parboil'd and bearded, take the yolks of
twelve Eggs, put some thin slices of bacon among the meat, and on the
top of the meat, when it is in the Pye cut an Onion small, and put it in
the bottome of your Pye, season it with Pepper, Nutmeg, Mace, and Salt,
make your Coffin to your meat what fashion you please. Let it bake an
hour and a half, put butter on the bottome and on the top of your Pye
before you close it, put a little water in before you put it into the
Oven, when you draw it out take off the Lid, and put away all the fat on
the top and put in a leer of thick butter, Gravy of Mutton, a Lemon
pared and sliced with two or three Anchoves dissolved. So stew these
together, and cut your Lid in handsome peices, and lay it round the Pye,
so serve it.
_To make Creame with Snow._
Take three Pints of Creame, and the whites of seven or eight Eggs and
strain them together, and a little Rose-water, and as much Sugar as will
sweeten it, then take a sticke as big as a childs Arme, cleave one end
of it a crosse, and widen your peices with your finger, beat your Cream
with this sticke, or else with a bundle of Reeds tyed together, and rowl
between your hand standing upright in your Creame, now as the Snow
ariseth take it up with a spoon in a Cullender that the thin may run
out, and when you have sufficient of this Snow; take the Cream that is
left, & seeth it in the Skellet, and put thereto whole Cloves, stickes
of Cinnamon, a little Ginger bruised, and seeth it till it be thick,
then strain it, and when it is cold put it into your Dish, and lay your
Snow upon it.

of Suet very well shread, Currans three pound, halfe an ounce of beaten
Cloves and Mace, season it with Salt when you think't fit, halfe a

Sugar, and a little Lemon Pill sliced very thin, put all these together
very well, put to it two Spoonfull of Verjuyce, and a quarter of a Pint

_To dry Neats Tongues._
Take Bay salt beaten very fine, and Salt-Peeter of each a like, and rub
your Tongues very well with that, and cover all over with it, and as it
wasts put on more, and when they are very hard and stiffe they are
enough, then rowle them in Bran, and dry them before a soft fire, and
before you boyle them, let them lie one night in Pompe Water, and boyle
them in the same sort of water.
