Take Snailes, and put them in a Kettle of water, and let them boyle a
little, then take them out, and shake them out of the shels into a
Bason; then take some Salt and scoure them very well, and wash them in
warme water, untill you find the slime cleane gone from them; then put
them into a Cullender and let them draine well, then mince some sweet
hearbs, and put them into a Dish with a little Pepper and Sallet-Oyle
together, then let them stand an hour or two; then wash the shels very
well and dry them, and put into every shell a Snail, and fill up the
shell with Sallet-Oyle and herbs, then set them on a gridiron upon a
soft fire, and so let them stew a little while, and dish them up warm
and serve them up.
_To dresse pickle fish._
Wash them well while they are in the shell in salt water, put them into
a Kettle over the fire with out water; and stirre them till they are
open, then take them out of their shels, and wash them in hot water and
salt, then take some of their owne liquor that they have made in the
Kettle, a little white wine, butter, vinegar, Spice, Parsley; let all
these boyle together, and when it is boyled, take the yolk of three or
four Eggs and put into the broth. Scollops may be dressed on this manner
or broiled like oysters with Oyle or juyce of Lemons.
_To fricate Beefe Pallats._
Take Beefe Pallats after they be boyled very tender, blaunch and pare
them clean, season them with fine beaten cloves Nutmeg, Pepper, Salt and
some grated bread; then have some butter in a frying Pan, put your
pallats therein, and so fricate them till they be browne on both sides,
then take them forth and put them on a dish, and put thereto some Gravy

sauce a little Nutmeg, wring in the juyce of a Lemon, so serve them.
