HAving very well scaled your Bream and throughly washed it, do not forget to preserve its blood, in which you must stew your Bream, by adding thereto Claret, two slices of Ginger razed, the pulp of three quarters of a pound of Prunes boiled and strained into the Broth, Vinegar, Salt, and an Anchovie or two; some sweet Herbs with Horseradish root stamped and strained: Let not your Fish have more Liquor than will just cover it; being enough, take some Butter with a little Vinegar, in which the Bream was stewed, and beat them up together; then dish up your Fish, pouring the Butter thereon, and garnish your Dish with Barberries, Oranges and Lemons. Base boiled to be eaten hot. Save the Livers, Rows or Spawns of your Base, than scale and wash them well; having so done, boil them up in Water, Wine-Vinegar, Salt, some sweet Herbs, Lemons sliced, with three whole Onions; then take a lear of drawn Butter, large Mace, whole Cinnamon, a whole Nutmeg quartered, with three Anchovies dissolved therein; having disht it up, pour on your lear, and let your garnish be fried Oysters and Bay-leaves. This seasoning will not be improper for Mullet or any other sort of Fish. Carp stewed.

At great Festivals garnish the body with stewed Oysters, and fried batter made of several colours by the juice of Herbs, as Violets, Saffron, spinach, etc. dissolving therein an Anchovie or two.

Let not your Brawn be quite so old as the former, then scald it and bone it, making but three Collars thereof, viz. the neck Coller, the sheald Choler, and the Flank Coller; water your Collars two days, each day shift it thrice and scrape it; the last day squeeze out the blood, wash it very clean, and dry it in a cloth; when it is dry, sprinkle on Salt and roll it up, beginning from the belly, adding some flesh to the flank to make it correspond in thickness with the back, of which you may be supplied from the Gammon, then bind it up as hard as possibly you may, and put it into your boiling liquor, scum it continually, and as it ought to boil five hours at least, so supply constantly the wasting of the Water with more; if a Wheat-straw will penetrate it, you may conclude it is enough, then draw your fire, and pour in by little and little cold Water, not suffering it to settle in its own liquor, and it will be of a delicate white colour, then take them up, and set your Collars an end. Let your sauce be small Beer, mixed with Bran and fine Oaten Flower boiled in Water and Salt strained through a hair-sieve and mingled with your Beer, put your Brawn herein, and stop your Vessel close. Otherways to souse a young sucking Pig. Having cut off the head, scald it and cut it down the back, soak the sides well in Water, and cleanse it from the blood; then dry the sides, after this season them with Nutmeg, Ginger and Salt, roll them and tie them up hard in clean clouts; then lay them into a broad Pan, with as much Water as will cover them, and put thereto a pottle of White wine; when it boils put in your Pig, and not before, with Salt, Ginger, Mace, Parsley and Fennel-roots scraped and picked; when they are about half boiled, put in a pottle more of White wine, when throughly boiled, put in slices of Lemon-pill.

Scald your Calf's head, and take away the bones, then soak it in Water seven or eight hours, changing the Water twice in that time; having dried it with a cloth, season it with some Salt and bruised Garlic (if you like it) then rolling it up into a Choler, bind it up very close, and boil it in White wine, Water and Salt, when boiled, keep it in the souse liquor, serve it in the Choler, or slice it with Oil, Vinegar and Pepper: This dish will puzzle a good palate to tell what it is.

TAke three quarters of a pound of blanched Almonds, and soak them a while in Water, than pound them in a stone Morter, a wooden one will serve, or a deep Tray, put to them some Rose-water; when you have pounded them very well, pound them over again with a little Cream, then set on about a pint and a half of Cream over the fire, and put your pounded Almonds therein with some Cinnamon, large Mace, and a grain of Musk fastened to a thread, stir it continually that it burn not to the bottom till it be thick, then take it off the fire, and beat in the yolks of four or five Eggs, with the whites of two, so season it with Sugar or Orangado, and bake it either in a Dish or Paste.

Take three handfuls of Pine-apples, the pulp of as many Pippins, with a pricked Quince; when they are well beaten, put to them three quarters of a pint of Cream, a little Rosewater, the yolks of five Eggs, with half a quarter of a pound of Sugar, you may thin it with more Cream, if you find it too thick; let your Paste, in which you put these ingredients, be thin, low and dried, so close it up and bake it. A Spring Tart. Gather what buds are not bitter, also the leaves of Primroses, Violets and Strawberries, with young spinach, and boil them, and put them into a Cullender, then chop your Herbs very small, and boil them over again in Cream, add thereunto so many yolks with the whites, as will sufficiently thicken your Cream, to which you must add some grated Naples biscuit, colour all green with the juice of spinach, and season it with Sugar, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and a little Salt, you may bake it in Puff-paste or otherways. Taffeta Tart. Having wetted the Paste with Butter and cold water, roll it very thin, then lay Apples in lays, and between every lay of Apples, strew some fine Sugar and some Lemon-pill cut very small; let them bake an hour, than ice them with Rosewater, Sugar and Butter, and wash them over with the same, then strew more fine Sugar on them, and put them into the same Oven again, you may serve them either hot or cold.

Prune Tart. Stew two pound of Prunes in as much Claret wine as will cover them; being tender strain them, then wash and rub them all together, and pour in some of the liquor they were stewed in to wash the Prunes from the stones, and this will be instrumental to carry all off but the skin and stones; then set what you have strained over a Chafing-dish of coals with a little whole Cinnamon, large Mace, a little Orangado and Citron minced, season it with Sugar, Rosewater, beaten Cinnamon and Ginger, let it boil up till it be thick, after this take out your whole Spice; let not the Walls of your Tart be above an inch and a half high, and dry it first in an Oven, you may make it corner'd fashion either in six or in eight, then put in your stuff, and let no corner be empty, but with your spoon plant it every where, put it into the Oven, and let it stand a little, when you draw it, stick it with Lozenges, and scrape on Sugar. A Goosberry Tart baked green and clear as Crystal. When you have formed your Tarts into what form you think fit, strew some Sugar in the bottom of them, then take large round Goosberries picked, and lay them therein one by one, covering the bottom, and sprinkle thereon some Sugar, then lay on another lay, and cover that with Sugar, and so continue doing till your coffins be full, let the lid of your Tarts be carved, and bake them quick, by which means they will be green and clear. So will Codlins' bake green, if you order them, as you do the Goosberries, and cutting the lids; but if you would have your fruits baked red, bake them slowly, and let their lids be close. Puff-paste how to make it the best way. Take a pottle of Flower, and the whites of half a dozen Eggs, make it up into Paste with cold Water, but make it not too stiff, work it well, and roll it forth four square into a sheet as thick as your finger; then take three pound of Butter, and beat it well with a Rowling-pin, then lay it on in slices all over your Paste, and as thick as your finger, and strew a little Flower over it, then roll up your sheet of Paste like a collar with the Butter within, squeeze and close it at both ends with your Rowling-pin, service it all along the roll of Paste, and roll it broad and long-ways, then clap up both ends, and make them meet in the middle one over the other, and fasten it down again with the Rowling-pin, rolling it forth every way as thin as it was at first when you laid on the Butter; then flower your board well underneath, and spread it over with Butter, roll it up, and work it as before: thus do three or four times till the aforesaid Butter be spent: In the Summer you must make your Puff-paste in the morning, and set it in some cool place: In the Winter you must beat your Butter very well, otherways its hardness will break your Paste. Rice-Tart. Take a quantity of Rice and boil it very tender in Milk or Cream, then pour it into a Dish, and season it with Nutmeg, Ginger, Cinnamon, Salt, Sugar, and the yolks of six Eggs, put it into your Paste with some juice of Orange, close it, bake it, and scrape on Sugar.

Another very good way. Make your Tart with works about an inch high, then provide a good quantity of spinach; having beaten it very well, strain it, then beat Almonds with Rose-water very small, and mix them therewith, if you have a quart of this composition, add to it a dozen Eggs with half the whites, with one grain of Musk, beat these all together, and when your Tart is dried in the Oven fill it herewith, and bake it. You were better bake it in a Pasty-pan, making your Paste of cold Butter and Water; it being fitted to the pan, put in your Tart-stuff, and let it bake gently uncovered in an Oven slenderly heated, then set it on a Plate, and stick it full of small Comfits or sprigs of preserved Barberries or Orangado sliced, or what other Sweetmeats you have by you.

Bacon Tart. Take new Lard or fat Bacon the freshest you can get; if it be not fresh, water it two or three days; then cut it into pieces about an inch long, and after that into square pieces, mingle it with as much green dried Citron of the same cut, beat as much sweet Almonds with Rosewater, mix these together with good store of Sugar, and a little beaten Ginger, and a spoonful of Oil; your Tart being made round and shallow, lay in this composition, sticking thereon green Citron, then close your Tart, or you may bake it in a Pasty-pan which is the better way; in an hours time it will be baked, then draw it, and stick the lid with sliced Citron, strew on some small perfumed Carraway Comfits, you may eat it hot or cold, but best cold. An excellent way to make an Almond Tart. Having blanched your Almonds, beat them in a Marble Mortar with Rosewater to keep them from Oiling, mix them with half the weight of Sugar, a quarter of the weight of Pine-kernels, a small quantity of white Bread grated, the yolks of four Eggs with half the whites, some preserved Citron, Orange or Lemon minced, mingle these together with Cream, then fill your Tart herewith, bake it in an Oven not too hot, and let it not stand there too long, when it is baked, stick it with Preserves and Carraway comfits.

Coddling Tart. Take your coddlings and scald them, letting them stand an hour in the same Water that scalded them, being covered, and this will make them look very green, then put them into your Tart whole or in quarters, with Sugar and a little Musk, close them and let your lid be carved; whilst it is baking, boil a quart of Cream with the yolks of four or five Eggs, Sugar and Musk; when your Tart is half baked, cut it open and pour it on the coddlings, than set it into the Oven again for half an hour, then draw it, scrape on Sugar, and serve it up to the Table.

If you put your Pippins into Puff-paste, or short Paste, you must then first boil your Pippins in Claret wine and Sugar, or else your Apples will be hard when your crust is burnt; but in the boiling them, have a care you do not break the quarters. An excellent Cherry Pye. Stone a pound of Cherries, bruise them and stamp them; after this boil up their juice with Sugar.

FLORENTINES. LEt your Paste be made after the same manner, as the Puff-paste above described, then boil the yolks of six Eggs with half a pint of Cream, keep it from burning by stirring it continually, and it will turn thick like Curds and be yellow, season it with Sugar, Cinnamon, and a little Nutmeg, with three or four sliced Dates, some pieces of Almond Paste, half a dozen pieces of Marrow, stir them together, and put them into the Florentine, then bake it in an Oven as hot as for Pies.

If you have neither of these, take quarters of Pippins or Pears, the coars taken out and boiled tender in Claret wine, or for want of these you may take Goosberries, Cherries, or Damsens, or Apricocks without the stones, and put them into your Florentine; when you see your Paste rise up white in the Oven, and begin to turn yellow, take it forth and wash it with Rose-water and Butter, scrape on fine Sugar, and set it into the Oven again about a quarter of an hour, then draw it forth and serve it up. Florentines of Rice. The Paste for your Florentines ought to be a rich cold buttered Paste, or the Puff-paste aforementioned.

First strain your Raspisses, and to every quart of juice add a pound and half of Sugar; pick out some of the fairest, and having strewed Sugar in the bottom of the Skillet, lay them in one by one, than put the juice upon them with some Sugar, reserving some to put in when they boil, let them boil apace, and add Sugar continually till they are enough. Jelly for service of several colours. Take four pair of Calf's feet, a Knuckle of Veal, and a fleshy Capon, prepare them as in the crystal Jelly; boil them in three gallons of Spring water, till the one half be consumed, then strain it into an earthen Pan and let it cool; after this pair the bottom and top, and dissolve it again, and divide it into four equal proportions, and put them into as many Pipkins which will contain about five pints a piece; put into one Saffron, into the second Cocheneil beaten with Alum, into the third Turnsole, and let the last have its proper colour; put to every Pipkin a quart of White wine, and the juice of two Lemons, put to the last Jelly one race of Ginger pared and sliced, and three blades of large Mace: to the red Jelly two Nutmegs, and the quantity of as much Cinnamon, with the same of Ginger: To the Turnsole put the like quantity of each with some whole Cloves: Lastly, to the Amber and yellow Jelly the like quantity of Spices.

Shave your Oranges thin, quarter them and lay them in Water three days, shift them twice a day, then boil them very tender in several Waters till the bitterness be gone; having dried them with a cloth cut them into thin slices cross the quarters, then take their weight of fine Sugar, fill a pint of juice of Apple-Johns and spring Water, strong of the Apples as you can make it, then mingle the sliced Oranges and liquor together, your Sugar being finely beaten and wet with Water, boil it a while, scum it and put the Oranges and Apple liquor into it, boil it till it be ready to jelly, then put in the juice of four Oranges and Lemons together, boil it a little after this, and add to it, if you think fit, a little Musk and Ambergriese tied in a Tiffany-rag. Otherways. Take the juice of a dozen and a half of Oranges, with a quart of the aforesaid stock, let them boil together a quarter of an hour, seasoned as was directed in the crystal Jelly; if too weak, add some Izing-glass as much as may suffice; if two strong, put thereto some Rhenish wine, clarifying it with the whites of Eggs, then run it into your bags. In the like manner you may make Jelly of red Currans, the juice thereof being mingled with a little Rhenish wine; in the Winter season, you may use the Syrup of Mulberries, Barberries, or the Syrup of Orangado, so will you have your several coloured Jellies with their several tastes. Hartshorn Jelly.

When you use it, let it be in the Morning, or about four of the clock in the Afternoon; it is excellent if you dissolve it in a dish of Broth. Thus much for Jellies; The next thing that will employ our consideration and fancy, will be the composition of Leaches, but before we treat hereof, it will be very requisite to show you the use of your Jelly and Leach. They are a great second and third Course dish; your Jelly being sliced forth thin and laid in your Dish. Your Jelly is cut forth into Ribbons, and placed between your Jelly with your colours opposite to one another; beat some of your Jelly in pieces, and place it in goblets in the middle of your Dish, also garnish it with Goblets or Diamonds of Jelly in every vacant place; you may run your Jelly into a Lemon-pill with the pulp taken out. LEACHES. How to make a Leech all manner of ways. TAke a quarter of a pound of the best Jordan Almonds, blanche them and steep them in Water ten hours or more, than pound them in a Marble-morter very small, then put them into a Pipkin or Skillet with a quart of Milk over the fire, and let them boil half an hour, but continually stir it, for otherways it may burn to; then strain out your Milk into another Skillet through a hair-strainer; then put to it an ounce of Izing-glass that had before been steeped an hour and half in Milk, and withal a good quantity of Cinnamon, with some large Mace and Nutmeg quartered, also a pound of fine white Sugar, of Musk and Ambergriese both together one grain, than set it again on the fire, and stir it continually till you take it off; when it is enough, put to it some Rose-water, and dish it up in a Basin. If you would have your Leeches of several colours, you must follow the same method prescribed you in the tincturing your Jellies: for Example, tie up spinach well beaten in a Tiffany-rag, squeeze that, and the juice gives a green tincture or complexion to your Jelly or Leach; if you will have your colours to be yellow or red, then use in the same manner Cocheneil and Saffron, but have a care you press them not too hard with your spoon, and by that means break the bag, and so defile your Leech, etc. If you would have any other colours, you must make use of Syrrups which are clear, and forget not to steep your Cocheneil and Saffron in Rose-water before you use it. A most excellent French Leech. Take three pints of Cream, half a pint of Rosewater, five grains of Musk dissolved in the same, and half a dozen large blades of Mace boiled with half a pound of Izing-glass; being steeped and washed clean, put to it half a pound of Sugar, being boiled to a Jelly, run it through your bag into a Dish, when it is cold, slice it into Chequerwork, and so serve it on a Plate or glasses. The best way of making an Almond Leach.

Quince Cream. Take a convenient quantity of Quinces, and when your Water boils, put them therein; when they are tender boiled, take them up and peel them, strain them and mingle them with fine Sugar, then make it of a convenient thickness with sweet Cream, or you may boil the Cream with a stick of Cinnamon, but put it not to the Quinces till it be cold; in the same manner you may order Wardens or Pears. Or thus you may order your Quinces, let them be unpared, and put them into Water which must boil first; when they are boiled tender, strip their skin and core them, than season them with beaten Cinnamon, Ginger, Orangado, dried Citron minced small, Carraway comfits, Rosewater and Sugar; your Cream being boiled, thus seasoned, and in a manner cold, put it in among your Quinces by spoonfuls.

Cabbage Cream. Set three quarts of new Milk over the fire, and scum it as long as any froth ariseth, then empty it into seven or eight bowls as fast as you can without frothing, then set them where the wind may come; when they are somewhat cold, gather the Cream on the top with your hand, crumpling it together, and lay it on a Plate; when you have laid four or five layings one upon the other, then take a feather and wet it in Rosewater and Musk and stroke over it; then sierce a little grated Nutmeg and fine Sugar, and lay on three or four lays more, than put all the Milk to boil again, and when it just riseth up, distribute it as before into your bowls, and use it in like manner: thus you may do four or five times, still laying on your Cream as before, and so order it, that it may lie round and high as a Cabbage: let one of the first bowls stand, because the Cream of it will be thickest and most crumpled, and lay on that last on the top of all; when you serve it up, scrape on Loaf-sugar; here note that this must be made over night for next days dinner, and in the morning for supper. Another excellent way. Take two gallons of new Milk, and when it boileth, put therein a quart of Cream, with the whites of three Eggs beaten up very well, let it boil but a very little time, and take it off, and put it into several broad earthen Milk-pans, and let it stand till it is cold; then having boiled, a Cabbage in Milk, cut it in two, and put half thereof into your Dish with the cut side downward, then scum the Cream off your Pans, and lay them on the Cabbage; after this sprinkle on Cinnamon, Rosewater and Sugar between each sheet or lay, so lay on the top of the other until you have laid on all your Cream; by so doing your Cream will appear like a Cabbage; for ornament stick on sprigs of Rosemary, which you must snow artificially.

Almond Cream the best away. Take half a pound of Almonds (right Jordan, for they are the best) and pound them in a Mortar with Rosewater and Sugar, sprinkling them in by degrees; as you are pounding incorporate these well together with Rice-flowre and a little Milk, making it no thicker than batter; when your Cream boileth, pour this stuff into your Skillet, and let them boil together with Izing-glass, Nutmeg and Cinnamon, with a blade or two of large Mace, keep it stirring over the fire for the space of half an hour, then take it off, and put therein the yolks of half a dozen Eggs well beaten in some Cream and Rosewater, with three quarters of a pound of fine Sugar, stir all together, and dish it up; three quarts of Milk will be sufficient for the aforesaid ingredients. Goosberry Cream. Take what quantity of Cream you think fit, and boil it with Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Mace, Sugar, Rosewater, and the yolks of Eggs beaten; having boiled a little while, take it off and dish it, then have in readiness some preserved Goosberries, and stick them on a pin in rows as thick as they can lie on the Cream, garnish your dish with the same, sprinkle on Sugar and serve it up. Otherways. Take a quantity of Goosberries coddled green, and boil them up with Sugar, than put them into raw or boiled Cream, strained or not, it is better to let them be whole, scrape on Sugar and serve them up. In like manner you may order Raspiss, Red-currans or Strawberries, or you may serve them in Wine and Sugar without any Cream. Rice Cream. Take three quarts of Cream, and three handfuls of Rice-Flowre, with half a pound of Sugar, mingle the two last named very well together, and put it into the Cream; then beat the yolk of an Egg or two, with a little Rosewater, and put it likewise into the Cream, stir these all together continually over a quick fire till it be as thick as pap. Rice Milk or Cream otherways. Having boiled your Rice near upon a quarter of an hour, put it out into a Cullender, and pick out the unhuskt Rice from the rest; if it be half a pound of Rice that you use, then must you have three quarts of Milk or Cream; when it boils, put in your Rice with large Mace, whole Cinnamon, and a Nutmeg in halves; when it gins to thicken, take the yolks of half a dozen Eggs, and beat them with Rose-water, and a ladleful of your boiling Cream, then stir it all into your Cream over the fire, then take it off and season it with Sugar and a little Salt, take out your whole Spice, and dish it up, scrape on it Sugar, and on the brims of your Dish, and serve it up. Clouted Cream. Take new Milk from the Cow, and let it over the fire in two or three broad earthen Pans, when it is ready to boil take it off, and set it by to cool, when it is cold scum it off with your Scummer, and season it with Rosewater, Musk and Sugar. Another rare Cream. Take a pound of Almond-paste fine beaten with Rosewater, mingle it with a quart of Cream, half a dozen Eggs, a little Sack, half a pound of Sugar, and some beaten Nutmeg; strain them and put them into a clean scoured Skillet, and set it on a soft fire, stir it continually, and being of an indifferent thickness, dish it up with juice of Oranges, Sugar, and a stick or two of candyed Pistaches. Another.

Take Bramble Berries when they are half ripe, dry them and make them into powder, then with a little strong Vinegar make it into balls, and dry them in the Sun; when you would use them, beat up the balls with some White wine or Claret, first warmed, and it will speedily become good Vinegar. Verjuice. Take Crabs as soon as the kernels turn black, and lay them in a heap to sweat, then clear them from their stalks or rottenness, then stamp them in a long trough to mash with stamping beetles; when you have stamped them very well, strain them through a course haircloth into your Barrel or Hogshead. How to draw Gravy. WHen your meat is about half roasted, put underneath it a Dish with good store of Onion-broth, which you must make by taking a pottle of strong broth, with a dozen Onions sliced and infused therein, then cut and slash your meat, when you think the Gravy will best run; so lad your broth on the meat to draw down the Gravy, you may add to it a little White wine or Claret: when your flesh is roasted, take it off the spit, and press it very well, then put to your Gravy some Oyster liquor, a little Nutmeg, and to every quart of Gravy four Anchovies: this Sauce will be much required in Feasts for most dishes, especially your Range. How to draw Butter. TAke half a pint of strong broth, and put it into a Pipkin, and break into it two pounds of Butter, than set it over the fire, and keep stirring of it with your ladle, then break in three pound more, or as much as you have occasion for, adding liquor proportionably, stir it continually till all be dissolved, and that it looks white, thick and smooth; if it chanceth to look yellow, and it is curdled, you will hardly recover it. How to recover Butter when it is turned to Oil. Take a Pipkin and put therein a ladleful of strong broth, and put thereto half a pound of Butter broken in pieces, having drawn it white, put in your Oily-butter, keeping it stirring as you pour it in leisurely, and be sure not to overpower your other Butter with what is Oily. Another way in case of necessity. Having no other Butter in the house than what is turned oily in the melting, you must then let it settle in some cool place for a little time, then pour out the most oily part, leaving the dregs and whey behind, then add a little broth to the said dregs, and put it on a hot heap of coals, ladle it well till it become to drawn Butter in a body, then take it off the fire, and keep it still stirring; in the mean time pour in the Oily-butter very softly, then set it on the fire again, still stirring it till it become strong, thick and white.

Unlace a Coney. Turn the Back downward, and cut the flappes or apron from the Belly or Kidney, then put in your knife between the Kidneys, and loosen the flesh from the bone on each side, then turn the belly downward, and cut the back cross between the wings, drawing your knife down on each side the backbone, dividing the legs and sides from the back, pull not the leg too hard when you open the side from the bone, but with your hand and knife neatly lay open both sides from the sent to the shoulders, then lay the legs close together. Unbrace a Mallard or a Duck. Raise up the pinions and legs, but take them not off, and raise the merrithought from the breast, than lace it down each side of the breast with your knife, rigling your knife to and fro, that the furrows may lie in and out. Dismember a Heron. You must take off both the Legs, and lace it down the breast on both sides with your knife, then raise up the flesh and take it clean off with the pinion, then stick the head in the breast, and set the pinion on the contrary side of the carcase, and the leg on the other side of the carcase, so that the bone ends may meet cross over the carcase, and the other wing cross over on the top of the carcase. Cut up a Turkey or Bustard. You must raise up the leg very fair, and open the joint with the point of your knife, but take not off the leg, than lace down the breast on both sides with your knife, and open the breast pinion, but take it not off, then raise up the merrithought betwixt the breast bone and the top thereof, then raise up the brawn, then turn it outward upon both sides, but break it not, nor cut it off, then cut off the wing pinions at the joint next the body, and stick in each side the pinion in the place you turned the brawn out, but cut off the sharp end of the pinion, and take the middle piece, and that will fit just in the place; you may cut up a Capon or Pheasant the same way. Lift a Swan. Slit down your Swan in the middle of the breast, and so clean through the back from the neck to the Rump, then part her in two halves, but neither break nor tear the flesh, then lay the two halves in a charger, with the slit sides downwards, throw Salt upon it, set it again on the Table; let you Sauce be Cauldron, and serve it in Saucers. Rear a Goose. Your Goose being roasted, take off both legs fair like shoulders of Lamb, then cut off the belly-piece round close to the end of the breast, than lace your Goose down on both the sides of the breast, half an inch from the sharp bone, then take off the pinion on each side, and the flesh you first laced with your knife, raise it up clean from the bone, and take it off with the pinion from the body, then cut up the merrithought, then cut from the breastbone another slice of flesh quite through, then turn up your carcase, and cut it asunder, the backbone above the Loyn-bones, then take the Rump-end of the backbone, and lay it in a fair dish with the skinney side upwards, lay at the fore-end of it the Merrithought with the skinney side upwards, and before that, the Apron of the Goose, then lay your pinions on each side contrary, set your legs on each side contrary behind them, that the bone-ends of the legs may stand up cross in the middle of the dish, and the wing pinions may come on the outside of them; put under the wing pinions on each side the long slice, which you cut from the breastbone; and let the ends meet under the leg-bones and let the other ends lie cut in the dish betwixt the leg and the pinion, then pour in your sauce under the meat, throw on Salt, and serve it to the Table again. Thus have I given you a taste of such terms and method of Carving as I have met withal, if ought be wanting, you must supply it by your own industrious inquiry. Bills of Fare, as well for great Feasts as ordinary Services through the whole year. IN the right ordering of all Bills of Fare, you must consult your own reason, and consider every thing in season, proper and peculiar to every Month: As for example, Lobsters, Crabs, Crawfish, Salmon, Trout, and a many Herbs and Flowers are not fully in season in the beginning of the Spring, that is, in March, but they are in May; so again Oysters, several shellfish and Wildfowl, are seasonable in March, but out of season in May: therefore in the place of what is gone out of season, you must choose what is in season, which you shall understand if you will observe these following Bills of Far suitable to the four Quarters, or several Seasons of the year.
