and whole Spice, and boil them together, then put in your Salmon, and
when it is boiled, take some Butter and some of the Liquor with an
Anchovie or two, and a little white Wine and a quart of Shrimps out of

Boil Wine, Water and Salt together, with whole Spice and sweet herbs,
and a little Horse-Radish Root, then put in your Cods head, and boil it
very well, then drain it well from the Water, and lay it in a dish over
a Chafingdish of Coals:
Then take some of the Liquor and two Anchovies, some butter and some
Shrimps, heat them over the fire, and pour over it, then poach some Eggs

Take thin slices of a Leg of Veal, and have ready some Suet finely
shred, some Currans, beaten Spice, sweet herbs, and hard yolks of Eggs,
and a little salt mixed well together, then strew it upon the insides of

Mortar and with a hot Pestel, till it come to a perfect Paste, then take
a little Gum Dragon steeped in Rosewater, and rub your hand withal, and
