The Forme of Cury: A Roll of Ancient English Cookery Compiled, about A.D. 1390
Pegge, Samuel
Cooking, English -- Early works to 1800
Topham's MS. has _socas_ among the fish; and see archbishop
Nevil's Feast, 6 E. IV. to be mentioned below.
[54] Of which see an account below.
[55] See Northumb. Book, p. 107, and Notes.
[56] As to carps, they were unknown in England t. R. II. Fulier,
Worth. in Sussex, p. 98. 113. Stow, Hist. 1038.
[57] The Italians still call the hop _cattiva erba_. There was a
petition against them t. H. VI. Fuller, Worth. p. 317, &c. Evelyn,
Sylva, p. 201. 469. ed. Hunter.
[58] Lister, Præf. ad Apicium, p. xi.
[59] So we have _lozengs of golde_. Lel. Collect. IV. p. 227. and a
wild boar's head _gylt_, p. 294. A peacock with _gylt neb_. VI. p. 6.
_Leche Lambart gylt_, ibid.
[60] No. 68. 20. 58. See my friend Dr. Percy on the Northumberland-
Book, p. 415. and MS Ed. 34.
[61] No. 47. 51. 84.
[62] No. 93. 132. MS Ed. 37.
[63] Perhaps Turmerick. See ad loc.
[64] Ter. Andr. I. 1. where Donatus and Mad. Dacier explain it of
Cooking. Mr. Hearne, in describing our Roll, see above, p. xi, by an
unaccountable mistake, read _Fary_ instead of _Cury_, the plain
reading of the MS.
[65] Junii Etym. v. Diet.
[66] Reginaldus Phisicus. M. Paris, p. 410. 412. 573. 764. Et in Vit.
p. 94. 103. Chaucer's _Medicus_ is a doctor of phisick, p.4. V. Junii
Etym. voce Physician. For later times, v. J. Rossus, p. 93.
[67] That of Donatus is modest 'Culina medicinæ famulacrix est.'
[68] Lel. Collect. IV. p. 183. 'Diod. Siculus refert primos Ægypti
Reges victum quotidianum omnino sumpsisse ex medicorum præscripto.'
Lister ad Apic. p. ix.
[69] See also Lylie's Euphues, p. 282. Cavendish, Life of Wolsey,
p. 151, where we have _callis_, malè; Cole's and Lyttleton's Dict. and
Junii Etymolog. v. Collice.
[70] See however, No. 191, and Editor's MS II. 7.
[71] Vide the proeme.
[72] See above.
[73] Univ. Hist. XV. p. 352. 'Æsopus pater linguas avium humana
vocales lingua cænavit; filius margaritas.' Lister ad Apicium, p. vii.
[74] Jul. Capitolinus, c. 5.
[75] Athenæus, lib. xii. c. 7. Something of the same kind is related
of Heliogabalus, Lister Præf. ad Apic. p. vii.
[76] To omit the paps of a pregnant sow, Hor. I. Ep. xv. 40. where
see Mons. Dacier; Dr. Fuller relates, that the tongue of carps were
accounted by the ancient Roman palate-men most delicious meat. Worth.
in Sussex. See other instances of extravagant Roman luxury in
Lister's Præf. to Apicius, p. vii.
[77] See, however, No. 33, 34, 35, 146.
