Take one pound and half of Veal parboiled, and as much Suet, shred them
very fine, then put in 2 pound of Raisins, 2 pound of Currans, 1 pound
of Prunes, 6 Dates, some beaten Spice, a few Caraway seeds, a little
Salt, Verjuice, Rosewater and Sugar, to fill your Pies, and let them

Take the Curds of three quarts of Milk rubbed together with a little
Flower, then put in a little beaten Ginger, and a little Salt, half a
Pint of Yest, the yolks of ten Eggs, and three Whites: work these into a
stiff Paste with so much Flower as you see fit, then lay it to rise in a
warm Cloth a while, then put in Butter, Sugar, Sack, and some beaten
Spice, and so serve it in.
103. _To make Cheese Loaves._
Take the Curds of three quarts of Milk, and as much grated Bread as
Curd, the yolks of twelve Eggs, and six Whites, some Cream, a little
Flower, and beaten Spice, a little Salt, and a little Sack; when you
have made it in a stiff Paste with a little flower, roul some of it thin
to fry, and serve them in with beaten Spice and Sugar strewed over them.
Then make the rest into a Loaf, and bake it, then cut it open, and serve
it in with Cream, Butter and Sugar.
104. _To fry Oysters._
Take of your largest Oysters, wash them and dry them, and beat an Egg or
two very well, and dip them in that, and so fry them, then take their
Liquor, and put an Anchovy to it, and some Butter, and heat them
together over the fire, and having put your fryed Oysters in a Dish,
pour the Sawce over them and serve them in.
105. _To broil Oysters._
Take your largest Oysters, and put them into Scollop Shells, or into the
biggest Oyster shells with their own Liquor, and set them upon a
Gridiron over Charcoals, and when you see they be boiled in the Liquor,
put in some Butter, a few Crums of Bread, and a little Salt, then let
them stand till they are very brown, and serve them to the Table in the
Shells upon a Dish and Pie-Plate.
106. _To rost Oysters._
Take the largest, and spit them upon little long sticks, and tie them to
the Spit, then lay them down to the fire, and when they are dry, bast
them with Claret Wine, and put into your Pan two Anchovies, and two or
three Bay-leaves, when you think they are enough, bast them with Butter,
and dredge them, and take a little of that liquor in the Pan, and some
Butter, and heat it in a Porringer, and pour over them.
107. _To make most excellent and delicate Pies._
Take two Neats tongues tenderly boiled, and peel them, and mince them
small with some Beef Suet or Marrow, then take a pound of Currans and a
