for my own part my +more particular tyes of service to you my Honoured Lords, have built +me up to the height of this Experience, for which this Book now at +last dares appear to the World; those times which I tended upon your +Honours were those Golden Days of Peace and Hospitality when you +enjoyed your own, so as to entertain and releive others. + +Right Honourable, and Right Worshipful, I have not only been an +eye-witness, but interested by my attendance; so as that I may +justly acknowledge those Triumphs and magnificent Trophies of +Cookery that have adorned your Tables; nor can I but confess to the +world, except I should be Guilty of the highest Ingratitude, that +the only structure of this my Art and knowledge, I owed to your +costs, generous and inimitable Epences; thus not only I have derived +my experience, but your Country hath reapt the Plenty of your +Humanity and charitable Bounties. + +Right Honourable, and Right Worshipful, Hospitality which was once a +Relique of the Gentry, and a known Cognizance to all ancient Houses, +hath lost her Title through the unhappy and Cruel Disturbances of +these Times, she is now reposing of her lately so alarmed Head on +your beds of Honour: In the mean space that our English World may +know the _Mecæna_'s and Patrons of this Generous Art, I have exposed +this Volume to the Publick, under the Tuition of your Names; at +whose Feet I prostrate these Endeavours, and shall for ever remain + + _Your most humble devoted Servant._ + _ROBERT MAY._ + + _From _Soleby_ in _Leicestershire_, + September 29. 1684._ + + + + + _To the Master Cooks, and to such young Practitioners + of the Art of Cookery, to whom this Book may be useful._ + +To you first, most worthy Artists, I acknowledg one of the chief +Motives that made me to adventure this Volume to your Censures, hath +been to testifie my gratitude to your experienced Society; nor could +I omit to direct it to you, as it hath been my ambition, that you +should be sensible of my Proficiency of Endeavours in this Art. To +all honest well intending Men of our Profession, or others, this +Book cannot but be acceptable, as it plainly and profitably +discovers the _Mystery_ of the _whole Art_; for which, though I may +be _envied by some that only value their private Interests above +Posterity, and the publick good_, yet God and my own Conscience +would not permit me _to bury these my Experiences with my Silver +Hairs in the Grave_: and that more especially, as the advantages of +my Education hath raised me above the _Ambitions_ of others, in the +converse I have had with other _Nations_, who in this _Art_ fall +short of what I _have known experimented by you my worthy Country +men_. Howsoever, the _French by their Insinuations, not without +enough of Ignorance_, have bewitcht some of the _Gallants of our +Nation_ with Epigram Dishes, smoakt rather than drest, so strangely +to captivate the _Gusto_, their _Mushroom'd Experiences_ for _Sauce_ +rather than _Diet_, for the generality howsoever called _A-la-mode_, +not worthy of being taken notice on. As I live in _France_, and had +the Language and have been an eye-witness of their _Cookeries_ as +well, as a Peruser of their Manuscripts, and Printed _Authors_ +whatsoever I found good in them, I have inserted in this _Volume_. +I do acknowledg my self not to be a little beholding to the +_Italian_ and _Spanish_ Treatises; though without my fosterage, and +bringing up under the _Generosities_ and _Bounties of my Noble +Patrons and Masters_, I could never have arrived to this +_Experience_. To be confined and limited to the narrowness of a +Purse, is to want the _Materials_ from which the _Artist_ must gain +his knowledge. Those _Honourable Persons_, _my Lord_ Lumley, and +others, with whom I have spent a part of my time, were such whose +generous cost never weighed the Expence, so that they might arrive +to that right and high esteem they had of their _Gusto's_. Whosoever +peruses this _Volume_ shall find it amply exemplified in _Dishes_ of +such high prices, which only these _Noblesses Hospitalities_ did +reach to: I should have sinned against their (to be perpetuated) +Bounties, if I had not set down their several varieties, that the +_Reader_ might be as well acquainted with what is extraordinary, as +what is ordinary in this _Art_; as I am truly sensible, that some of +those things that I have set down will amaze a not thorow-paced +_Reader_ in the _Art of Cookery_, as they are Delicates, never till +this time made known to the World. + +_Fellow Cooks_, that I might give a testimony to my _Countrey_ of +the _laudableness of our Profession_, that I might encourage young +Undertakers to make a Progress in the _Practice of this Art_, I have +laid open these Experiences, as I was most unwilling to hide my +Talent, but have ever endeavoured to do good to others; +I acknowledge that there hath already been _several Books publisht_, +and amongst the rest some out of the _French_, for ought I could +perceive to very little purpose, _empty and unprofitable Treatises_, +of as little use as some _Niggards Kitchens_, which the _Reader_ in +respect of the confusion of the Method, or barrenness of those +_Authors_ experience, hath rather been puzled then profited by; as +those already extant Authors have trac't but one common beaten Road, +repeating for the main what others have in the same homely manner +done before them: It hath been my task to denote some _new Faculty +or Science_, that others have not yet discovered; this the _Reader_ +will quickly discern by those _new Terms of Art_ which he shall meet +withal throughout this _whole Volume_. Some things I have inserted +of _Carving and Sewing_ that I might demonstrate the whole Art. In +the contrivance of these my labours, I have so managed them for the +general good, that those whose Purses cannot reach to the cost of +rich Dishes, I have descended to their meaner Expences, that they +may give, though upon a sudden Treatment, to their Kindred, Friends, +Allies and Acquaintance, a handsome and relishing entertainment in +all seasons of the year, though at some distance from Towns or +Villages. Nor have my serious considerations been wanting amongst +direction for Diet how to order what belongs to the sick, as well as +to those that are in health; and withal my care hath been such, that +in this Book as in a Closet, is contained all such Secrets as relate +to _Preserving_, _Conserving_, _Candying_, _Distilling_, and such +rare varieties as they are most concern'd in the _best husbandring +and huswifering_ of them. Nor is there any Book except that of the +_Queens Closet_, which was so _enricht with Receipts_ presented to +her _Majesty_, as yet that I ever saw in any _Language_, that ever +contained so many _profitable Experiences, as in this Volume_: in +all which the _Reader_ shall find most of the _Compositions_, and +mixtures easie to be prepared, most pleasing to the Palate, and not +too chargeable to the Purse; since you are at liberty to employ as +much or as little therein as you please. + +In this Edition I have enlarged the whole Work; and there is added +two hundred several Figures of all sorts of Pies, Tarts, Custards, +Cheesecakes, &c. more than was in the former: You will find them in +Tables directed to the _Folio_ they have relation to; there being +such variety of Forms, the Artists may use which of them they +please. + +It is impossible for any _Author_ to please all People, no more than +the best Cook can fancy their Palats whose Mouths are always out of +taste. As for those who make it their business to hide their Candle +under a Bushel, to do only good to themselves, and not to others, +such as will curse me for revealing the Secrets of this Art, I value +the discharge of my own Conscience, in doing Good, above all their +malice; protesting to the whole world, that I have not _concealed +any material Secret_ of above my _fifty and five years Experience_; +my Father _being a Cook_ under whom in my Child-hood I was bred up +in this Art. + +To conclude, the diligent Peruser of this _Volume_ gains that in a +small time (as to the _Theory_) which an _Apprenticeship_ with some +_Masters_ could never have taught them. I have no more to do, but to +desire of God a blessing upon these my Endeavours; and remain. + + _Yours in the most ingenious + ways of Friendship_, + ROBERT MAY. + + Sholeby in Leicestershire, + _Sept. 30. 1664_. + + + + + _A short Narrative of some Passages of the Authors Life._ + + +For the better knowledge of the worth of this Book, though it be not +usual, the _Author_ being living, it will not be amiss to acquaint +the _Reader_ with a breif account of some passages of his Life, as +also the eminent Persons (renowned for their House-keeping) whom he +hath served through the whole series of his Life; for as the growth +of Children argue the strength of the Parents, so doth the judgment +and abilities of the Artist conduce to the making and goodness of +the Work: now that such great knowledge in this commendable Art was +not gained but by long experience, practise, and converse with the +most able men in their times, the _Reader_ in this breif Narrative +may be informed by what steps and degrees he ascended to the same. + +He was born in the year of our Lord 1588. His Father being one of +the ablest _Cooks_ in his time, and his first Tutor in the knowledge +and practice of Cookery; under whom having attained to some +perfection in this Art, the old Lady _Dormer_ sent him over into +_France_, where he continued five years, being in the Family of a +noble Peer, and first President of _Paris_; where he gained not only +the _French_ Tongue but also bettered his Knowledge in his +_Cookery_, and returning again into _England_, was bound an +Apprentice in _London_ to Mr. _Arthur Hollinsworth_ in _Newgate +Market_, one of the ablest Work-men in _London_, Cook to the +_Grocers Hall and Star Chamber_. His Apprentiship being out, the +Lady _Dormer_ sent for him to be her Cook under Father (who then +served that Honourable Lady) where were four Cooks more, such Noble +Houses were then kept, the glory of that, and the shame of this +present Age; then were those Golden Days wherein were practised the +_Triumphs and Trophies of Cookery_; then was Hospitality esteemed, +Neighbourhood preserved, the Poor cherished, and God honoured; then +was Religion less talkt on, and more practised; then was Atheism & +Schism less in fashion: then did men strive to be good, rather then +to seem so. Here he continued till the Lady _Dormer_ died, and then +went again to _London_, and served the Lord _Castlehaven_, after +that the Lord _Lumley_, that great lover and knower of Art, who +wanted no knowledge in the discerning this mystery; next the Lord +_Montague_ in _Sussex_; and at the beginning of these wars, the +Countess of _Kent_, then Mr. _Nevel_ of _Crissen Temple_ in _Essex_, +whose Ancestors the _Smiths_ (of whom he is descended) were the +greatest maintainers of Hospitality in all those parts; nor doth the +present M. _Nevel_ degenerate from their laudable examples. Divers +other Persons of like esteem and quality hath he served; as the Lord +_Rivers_, Mr. _John Ashburnam_ of the Bed-Chambers, Dr. _Steed_ in +_Kent_, Sir _Thomas Stiles_ of _Drury Lane_ in _London_, Sir +_Marmaduke Constable_ in _York-shire_, Sir _Charles Lucas_; and +lastly the Right Honourable the Lady _Englefield_, where he now +liveth. + +Thus have I given you a breif account of his Life, I shall next tell +you in what high esteem this noble Art was with the Ancient Romans: +_Plutarch_ reports, that _Lucullus_ his ordinary diet was fine +dainty dishes, with works of pastry, banketting dishes, and fruit +curiously wrought and prepared; that, his Table might be furnished +with choice of varieties, (as the noble Lord _Lumley_ did) that he +kept and nourished all manner of Fowl all the year long. To this +purpose he telleth us a story how _Pompey_ being sick, the +Physitians willed him to eat a Thrush, and it being said there was +none to be had; because it was then Summer; it was answered they +might have them at _Lucullus_'s house who kept both Thrushes and all +manner of Fowl, all the year long. This _Lucullus_ was for his +Hospitality so esteemed in _Rome_, that there was no talk, but of +his Noble House-keeping. The said _Plutarch_ reports how _Cicero_ +and _Pompey_ inviting themselves to sup with him, they would not let +him speak with his men to provide any thing more then ordinary; but +he telling them he would sup in _Apollo_, (a Chamber so named, and +every Chamber proportioned their expences) he by this wile beguil'd +them, and a supper was made ready estimated at fifty thousand pence, +every _Roman_ penny being seven pence half penny _English_ money; +a vast sum for that Age, before the _Indies_ had overflowed +_Europe_. But I have too far digressed from the Author of whom I +might speak much more as in relation to his Person and abilities, +but who will cry out the Sun shines? this already said is enough to +satisfie any but the malicious, who are the greatest enemies to all +honest endeavours. _Homer_ had his _Zoilus_, and _Virgil_ his +_Bavius_; the best Wits have had their detractors, and the greatest +Artists have been maligned; the best on't is, such Works as these +outlive their _Authors_ with an honurable respect of Posterity, +whilst envious Criticks never survive their own happiness, their +Lives going out like the snuff of a Candle. + + _W. W._ + + + + + _Triumphs and Trophies in Cookery, to be used at Festival Times, + as _Twelfth-day_, &c._ + + +Make the likeness of a Ship in Paste-board, with Flags and +Streamers, the Guns belonging to it of Kickses, bind them about with +packthread, and cover them with close paste proportionable to the +fashion of a Cannon with Carriages, lay them in places convenient as +you see them in Ships of war, with such holes and trains of powder +that they may all take Fire; Place your Ship firm in the great +Charger; then make a salt round about it, and stick therein +egg-shells full of sweet water, you may by a great Pin take all the +meat out of the egg by blowing, and then fill it up with the +rose-water, then in another Charger have the proportion of a Stag +made of course paste, with a broad Arrow in the side of him, and his +body filled up with claret-wine; in another Charger at the end of +the Stag have the proportion of a Castle with Battlements, +Portcullices, Gates and Draw-Bridges made of Past-board, the Guns +and Kickses, and covered with course paste as the former; place it +at a distance from the ship to fire at each other. The Stag being +placed betwixt them with egg shells full of sweet water (as before) +placed in salt. At each side of the Charger wherein is the Stag, +place a Pye made of course paste, in one of which let there be some +live Frogs, in each other some live Birds; make these Pyes of course +Paste filled with bran, and yellowed over with saffron or the yolks +of eggs, guild them over in spots, as also the Stag, the Ship, and +Castle; bake them, and place them with guilt bay-leaves on turrets +and tunnels of the Castle and Pyes; being baked, make a hole in the +bottom of your pyes, take out the bran, put in your Frogs, and +Birds, and close up the holes with the same course paste, then cut +the Lids neatly up; To be taken off the Tunnels; being all placed in +order upon the Table, before you fire the trains of powder, order it +so that some of the Ladies may be perswaded to pluck the Arrow out +of the Stag, then will the Claret-wine follow, as blood that runneth +out of a wound. This being done with admiration to the beholders, +after some short pause, fire the train of the Castle, that the +pieces all of one side may go off, then fire the Trains, of one side +of the Ship as in a battel; next turn the Chargers; and by degrees +fire the trains of each other side as before. This done to sweeten +the stink of powder, let the Ladies take the egg-shells full of +sweet waters and throw them at each other. All dangers being +seemingly over, by this time you may suppose they will desire to see +what is in the pyes; where lifting first the lid off one pye, out +skip some Frogs, which make the Ladies to skip and shreek; next +after the other pye, whence come out the Birds, who by a natural +instinct flying in the light, will put out the Candles; so that what +with the flying Birds and skipping Frogs, the one above, the other +beneath, will cause much delight and pleasure to the whole company: +at length the Candles are lighted, and a banquet brought in, the +Musick sounds, and every one with much delight and content rehearses +their actions in the former passages. These were formerly the +delight of the Nobility, before good House-keeping had left +_England_, and the Sword really acted that which was only +counterfeited in such honest and laudable Exercises as these. + + + + +[Decoration] + + _On the Unparalell'd Piece of _Mr. May_ His Cookery._ + + + See here a work set forth of such perfection, + Will praise it self, and doth not beg protection + From flatter'd greatness.

Take a goose +being roasted, and take off both his legs fair like a shoulder of +Lamb, take him quite from the body then cut off the belly piece +round close to the lower end of the breast: lace her down with your +knife clean through the breast on each side your thumbs bredth for +the bone in the middle of the breast; then take off the pinion of +each side, and the flesh which you first lac't with your knife, +raise it up clear from the bone, and take it from the carcase with +the pinion; then cut up the bone which lieth before in the breast +(which is commonly call'd the merry thought) the skin and the flesh +being upon it; then cut from the brest-bone, another slice of flesh +clean thorow, & take it clean from the bone, turn your carcase, and +cut it asunder the back-bone above the loin-bones: then take the +rump-end of the back-bone, and lay it in a fair dish with the +skinny-side upwards, lay at the fore-end of that the merry-thought +with the skin side upward, 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 end of the legs may stand +up cross in the middle of the dish, & the wing pinions on the +outside of them; put under the wing pinions on each side the long +slices of flesh which you cut from the breast bone, and let the ends +meet under the leg bones, let the other ends lie cut in the dish +betwixt the leg and the pinion; then pour your sauce into the dish +under your meat, throw on salt, and set it on the table. + + + _To cut up a Turkey or Bustard._ + +Raise up the leg very fair, and open the joynt with the point of +your knife, but take not off the leg; then lace down the breast with +your knife on both sides, & open the breast pinion with the knife, +but take not the pinion off; then raise up the merry-thought betwixt +the breast bone, and the top of the merry-thought, lace down the +flesh on both sides of the breast-bone, and raise up the flesh +called the brawn, turn it outward upon both sides, but break it not, +nor cut it not off; then cut off the wing pinion at the joynt next +to the body, and stick on each side the pinion in the place where ye +turned out the brawn, but cut off the sharp end of the Pinion, take +the middle piece, and that will just fit the place. + +You may cut up a capon or pheasant the same way, but of your capon +cut not off the pinion, but in the place where you put the pinion of +the turkey, you must put the gizard of your capon on each side half. + + + _Dismember that Hern._ + +Take off both the legs, and lace it down to the breast with your +knife on both sides, raise up the flesh, and take it clean off with +the pinion; then stick the head in the breast, set the pinion on the +contrary side of the carcase, and the leg on the other side, so that +the bones ends may meet cross over the carcase, and the other wings +cross over upon the top of the carcase. + + + _Unbrace that Mallard._ + +Raise up the pinion and the leg, but take them not off, raise the +merry-thought from the breast, and lace it down on each side of the +breast with your knife, bending to and fro like ways. + + + _Unlace that Coney._ + +Turn the back downwards, & cut the belly flaps clean off from the +kidney, but take heed you cut not the kidney nor the flesh, then put +in the point of your knife between the kidneys, and loosen the flesh +from each side the bone then turn up the back of the rabbit, and cut +it cross between the wings, and lace it down close by the bone with +your knife on both sides, then open the flesh of the rabbit from the +bone, with the point of your knife against the kidney, and pull the +leg open softly with your hand, but pluck it not off, then thrust in +your knife betwixt the ribs and the kidney, slit it out, and lay the +legs close together. + + + _Sauce that Capon._ + +Lift up the right leg and wing, and so array forth, and lay him in +the platter as he should fly, and so serve him.

Fourteen days will feed a chicken +sufficiently. + + + _To feed Capons._ + +Either at the barn doors with scraps of corn and chavings of pulse, +or else in pens in the house, by cramming them, which is the most +dainty. The best way to cram a capon (setting all strange inventions +apart) is to take barley meal, reasonably sifted, and mixing it with +new milk, make it into good stiff dough; than make it into long +crams thickest in the middle, & small at both ends, then wetting +them in luke-warm milk, giue the capon a full gorge thereof three +times a day morning noon, and night, and he will in a fortnight or +three weeks be as fat as any man need to eat. + + + _The ordering of Goslings._ + +After they are hatched you shall keep them in the house ten or +twelve days, and feed them with curds, scalded chippins, or barley +meal in milk knodden and broken, also ground malt is exceeding good, +or any bran that is scalded in water, milk, or tappings of drink. +After they have got a little strength, you may let them go abroad +with a keeper five or six hours in a day, and let the dam at her +leisure entice them into the water; then bring them in, and put them +up, and thus order them till they be able to defend themselves from +vermine. After a gosling is a month or six weeks old you may put it +up to feed for a green goose, & it will be perfectly fed in another +month following; and to feed them, there is no better meat then skeg +oats boil'd, and given plenty thereof thrice a day, morning, noon, +and night, with good store of milk, or milk and water mixt together +to drink. + + + _For fatting of elder Geese._ + +For elder geese which are five or six months old, having been in the +stubble fields after harvest, and got into good flesh, you shall +then choose out such geese as you would feed, and put them in +several Pens which are close and dark, and there feed them thrice a +day with good store of oats, or spelted beans, and give them to +drink water and barly meal mixt together, which must evermore stand +before them. This will in three weeks feed a goose so fat as is +needfull. + + + _The fatting of Ducklings._ + +You may make them fat in three weeks giving them any kind of pulse +or grain, and good store of water. + + + _Fatting of Swans and Cygnets._ + +For Swans and their feeding, where they build their nests, you shall +suffer them to remain undisturbed, and it will be sufficient because +they can better order themselves in that business than any man. + +Feed your Cygnets in all sorts as you feed your Geese, and they will +be through fat in seven or eight weeks. If you will have them sooner +fat, you shall feed them in some pond hedged, or placed in for that +purpose. + + + _Of fatting Turkies._ + +For the fatting of turkies sodden barley is excellent, or sodden +oats for the first fortnight, and then for another fortnight cram +them in all sorts as you cram your capon, and they will be fat +beyond measure. Now for their infirmities, when they are at liberty, +they are so good _Physitians_ for themselves, that they will never +trouble their owners; but being coopt up you must cure them as you +do pullets. Their eggs are exceeding wholesome to eat, and restore +nature decayed wonderfully. + +Having a little dry ground where they may sit and prune themselves, +place two troughs, one full of barley and water, and the other full +of old dried malt wherein they may feed at their pleasure. Thus +doing, they will be fat in less than a month: but you must turn his +walks daily. + + + _Of nourishing and fatting Herns, Puets, Gulls, and Bitterns._ + +Herns are nourished for two causes, either for Noblemens sports, to +make trains for the entering their hawks, or else to furnish the +table at great feasts; the manner of bringing them up with the least +charge, is to take them out of their nests before they can flie, and +put them into a large high barn, where there is many high cross +beams for them to pearch on; then to have on the flour divers square +boards with rings in them, and between every board which should be +two yards square, to place round shallow tubs full of water, then to +the boards you shall tye great gobbits of dogs flesh, cut from the +bones, according to the number which you feed, and be sure to keep +the house sweet, and shift the water often, only the house must be +made so, that it may rain in now and then, in which the hern will +take much delight; but if you feed her for the dish, then you shall +feed them with livers, and the entrals of beasts, and such like cut +in great gobbits. + + + _To feed Codwits, Knots, Gray-Plovers, or Curlews._ + +Take fine chilter-wheat, and give them water thrice a day, morning, +noon, and night; which will be very effectual; but if you intend to +have them extraordinary crammed fowl, then you shall take the finest +drest wheat-meal, and mixing it with milk, make it into paste, and +ever as you knead it, sprinkle into the grains of small +chilter-wheat, till the paste be fully mixt therewith; then make +little small crams thereof, and dipping them in water, give to every +fowl according to his bigness, and let his gorge be well filled: do +thus as oft as you shall find their gorges empty, and in one +fortnight they will be fed beyond measure, and with these crams you +may feed any fowl of what kind or nature soever. + + + _Otherways._ + +Feed them with good wheat and water, give them thrice a day, +morning, noon, and night; if you will have them very fat & crammed +fowl, take fine wheat meal & mix it with milk, & make it into paste, +and as you knead it, put in some corns of wheat sprinkled in amongst +the paste till the paste be fully mixt therewith; then make little +small crams thereof, and dipping them in water, give to every fowl +according to his bigness, and that his gorge be well filled: do thus +as oft as you shall find their gorges empty, and in one fortnight +they will be fed very fat; with these crams you may feed any fowl of +what kind or nature soever. + + + _To feed Black-Birds Thrushes, Felfares, + or any small Birds whatsoever._ + +Being taken old and wild, it is good to have some of their kinds +tame to mix among them, and then putting them into great cages of +three or four yards square, to have divers troughs placed therein, +some filled with haws, some with hemp seed, and some with water, +that the tame teaching the wild to eat, and the wild finding such +change and alteration of food, they will in twelve or fourteen days +grow exceeding fat, and fit for the kitchen. + + + _To feed Olines._ + +Put them into a fine room where they may have air, give them water, +and feed them with white bread boiled in good milk, and in one week +or ten days they will be extraordinary fat. + + + _To feed Pewets._ + +Feed them in a place where they may have the air, set them good +store of water, and feed them with sheeps lungs cut small into +little bits, give it them on boards, and sometimes feed them with +shrimps where they are near the sea, and in one fortnight they will +be fat if they be followed with meat. Then two or three days before +you spend them give them cheese curd to purge them. + + + _The feedings of Pheasant, Partridge, Quails, and Wheat Ears._ + +Feed them with good wheat and water, this given them thrice a day, +morning noon, and night, will do it very effectually; but if you +intend to have them extraordinary crammed fowl, then take the finest +drest wheatmeal, mix it with milk, and make into paste, ever as you +knead it, sprinkle in the grains of corns of wheat, till the paste +be full mixt there with; then make little small crams, dip them in +water, and give to every fowl according to his bigness, that his +gorge be well filled; do thus as often as you shall find his gorge +empty, and in one fortnight they will be fed beyond measure. Thus +you may feed turtle Doves. + + +FINIS. + + + + +The Table. + + [Transcriber's Note: + Alphabetization in the Table is unchanged.] + + + A. + + _Andolians._ page 22 + _Almond Pudding_ 181 +

The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/22790-8.zip b/old/22790-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6b43644 --- /dev/null +++

for my own part my +more particular tyes of service to you my Honoured Lords, have built +me up to the height of this Experience, for which this Book now at +last dares appear to the World; those times which I tended upon your +Honours were those Golden Days of Peace and Hospitality when you +enjoyed your own, so as to entertain and releive others. + +Right Honourable, and Right Worshipful, I have not only been an +eye-witness, but interested by my attendance; so as that I may +justly acknowledge those Triumphs and magnificent Trophies of +Cookery that have adorned your Tables; nor can I but confess to the +world, except I should be Guilty of the highest Ingratitude, that +the only structure of this my Art and knowledge, I owed to your +costs, generous and inimitable Epences; thus not only I have derived +my experience, but your Country hath reapt the Plenty of your +Humanity and charitable Bounties. + +Right Honourable, and Right Worshipful, Hospitality which was once a +Relique of the Gentry, and a known Cognizance to all ancient Houses, +hath lost her Title through the unhappy and Cruel Disturbances of +these Times, she is now reposing of her lately so alarmed Head on +your beds of Honour: In the mean space that our English World may +know the _Mecaena_'s and Patrons of this Generous Art, I have exposed +this Volume to the Publick, under the Tuition of your Names; at +whose Feet I prostrate these Endeavours, and shall for ever remain + + _Your most humble devoted Servant._ + _ROBERT MAY._ + + _From _Soleby_ in _Leicestershire_, + September 29. 1684._ + + + + + _To the Master Cooks, and to such young Practitioners + of the Art of Cookery, to whom this Book may be useful._ + +To you first, most worthy Artists, I acknowledg one of the chief +Motives that made me to adventure this Volume to your Censures, hath +been to testifie my gratitude to your experienced Society; nor could +I omit to direct it to you, as it hath been my ambition, that you +should be sensible of my Proficiency of Endeavours in this Art. To +all honest well intending Men of our Profession, or others, this +Book cannot but be acceptable, as it plainly and profitably +discovers the _Mystery_ of the _whole Art_; for which, though I may +be _envied by some that only value their private Interests above +Posterity, and the publick good_, yet God and my own Conscience +would not permit me _to bury these my Experiences with my Silver +Hairs in the Grave_: and that more especially, as the advantages of +my Education hath raised me above the _Ambitions_ of others, in the +converse I have had with other _Nations_, who in this _Art_ fall +short of what I _have known experimented by you my worthy Country +men_. Howsoever, the _French by their Insinuations, not without +enough of Ignorance_, have bewitcht some of the _Gallants of our +Nation_ with Epigram Dishes, smoakt rather than drest, so strangely +to captivate the _Gusto_, their _Mushroom'd Experiences_ for _Sauce_ +rather than _Diet_, for the generality howsoever called _A-la-mode_, +not worthy of being taken notice on. As I live in _France_, and had +the Language and have been an eye-witness of their _Cookeries_ as +well, as a Peruser of their Manuscripts, and Printed _Authors_ +whatsoever I found good in them, I have inserted in this _Volume_. +I do acknowledg my self not to be a little beholding to the +_Italian_ and _Spanish_ Treatises; though without my fosterage, and +bringing up under the _Generosities_ and _Bounties of my Noble +Patrons and Masters_, I could never have arrived to this +_Experience_. To be confined and limited to the narrowness of a +Purse, is to want the _Materials_ from which the _Artist_ must gain +his knowledge. Those _Honourable Persons_, _my Lord_ Lumley, and +others, with whom I have spent a part of my time, were such whose +generous cost never weighed the Expence, so that they might arrive +to that right and high esteem they had of their _Gusto's_. Whosoever +peruses this _Volume_ shall find it amply exemplified in _Dishes_ of +such high prices, which only these _Noblesses Hospitalities_ did +reach to: I should have sinned against their (to be perpetuated) +Bounties, if I had not set down their several varieties, that the +_Reader_ might be as well acquainted with what is extraordinary, as +what is ordinary in this _Art_; as I am truly sensible, that some of +those things that I have set down will amaze a not thorow-paced +_Reader_ in the _Art of Cookery_, as they are Delicates, never till +this time made known to the World. + +_Fellow Cooks_, that I might give a testimony to my _Countrey_ of +the _laudableness of our Profession_, that I might encourage young +Undertakers to make a Progress in the _Practice of this Art_, I have +laid open these Experiences, as I was most unwilling to hide my +Talent, but have ever endeavoured to do good to others; +I acknowledge that there hath already been _several Books publisht_, +and amongst the rest some out of the _French_, for ought I could +perceive to very little purpose, _empty and unprofitable Treatises_, +of as little use as some _Niggards Kitchens_, which the _Reader_ in +respect of the confusion of the Method, or barrenness of those +_Authors_ experience, hath rather been puzled then profited by; as +those already extant Authors have trac't but one common beaten Road, +repeating for the main what others have in the same homely manner +done before them: It hath been my task to denote some _new Faculty +or Science_, that others have not yet discovered; this the _Reader_ +will quickly discern by those _new Terms of Art_ which he shall meet +withal throughout this _whole Volume_. Some things I have inserted +of _Carving and Sewing_ that I might demonstrate the whole Art. In +the contrivance of these my labours, I have so managed them for the +general good, that those whose Purses cannot reach to the cost of +rich Dishes, I have descended to their meaner Expences, that they +may give, though upon a sudden Treatment, to their Kindred, Friends, +Allies and Acquaintance, a handsome and relishing entertainment in +all seasons of the year, though at some distance from Towns or +Villages. Nor have my serious considerations been wanting amongst +direction for Diet how to order what belongs to the sick, as well as +to those that are in health; and withal my care hath been such, that +in this Book as in a Closet, is contained all such Secrets as relate +to _Preserving_, _Conserving_, _Candying_, _Distilling_, and such +rare varieties as they are most concern'd in the _best husbandring +and huswifering_ of them. Nor is there any Book except that of the +_Queens Closet_, which was so _enricht with Receipts_ presented to +her _Majesty_, as yet that I ever saw in any _Language_, that ever +contained so many _profitable Experiences, as in this Volume_: in +all which the _Reader_ shall find most of the _Compositions_, and +mixtures easie to be prepared, most pleasing to the Palate, and not +too chargeable to the Purse; since you are at liberty to employ as +much or as little therein as you please. + +In this Edition I have enlarged the whole Work; and there is added +two hundred several Figures of all sorts of Pies, Tarts, Custards, +Cheesecakes, &c. more than was in the former: You will find them in +Tables directed to the _Folio_ they have relation to; there being +such variety of Forms, the Artists may use which of them they +please. + +It is impossible for any _Author_ to please all People, no more than +the best Cook can fancy their Palats whose Mouths are always out of +taste. As for those who make it their business to hide their Candle +under a Bushel, to do only good to themselves, and not to others, +such as will curse me for revealing the Secrets of this Art, I value +the discharge of my own Conscience, in doing Good, above all their +malice; protesting to the whole world, that I have not _concealed +any material Secret_ of above my _fifty and five years Experience_; +my Father _being a Cook_ under whom in my Child-hood I was bred up +in this Art. + +To conclude, the diligent Peruser of this _Volume_ gains that in a +small time (as to the _Theory_) which an _Apprenticeship_ with some +_Masters_ could never have taught them. I have no more to do, but to +desire of God a blessing upon these my Endeavours; and remain. + + _Yours in the most ingenious + ways of Friendship_, + ROBERT MAY. + + Sholeby in Leicestershire, + _Sept. 30. 1664_. + + + + + _A short Narrative of some Passages of the Authors Life._ + + +For the better knowledge of the worth of this Book, though it be not +usual, the _Author_ being living, it will not be amiss to acquaint +the _Reader_ with a breif account of some passages of his Life, as +also the eminent Persons (renowned for their House-keeping) whom he +hath served through the whole series of his Life; for as the growth +of Children argue the strength of the Parents, so doth the judgment +and abilities of the Artist conduce to the making and goodness of +the Work: now that such great knowledge in this commendable Art was +not gained but by long experience, practise, and converse with the +most able men in their times, the _Reader_ in this breif Narrative +may be informed by what steps and degrees he ascended to the same. + +He was born in the year of our Lord 1588. His Father being one of +the ablest _Cooks_ in his time, and his first Tutor in the knowledge +and practice of Cookery; under whom having attained to some +perfection in this Art, the old Lady _Dormer_ sent him over into +_France_, where he continued five years, being in the Family of a +noble Peer, and first President of _Paris_; where he gained not only +the _French_ Tongue but also bettered his Knowledge in his +_Cookery_, and returning again into _England_, was bound an +Apprentice in _London_ to Mr. _Arthur Hollinsworth_ in _Newgate +Market_, one of the ablest Work-men in _London_, Cook to the +_Grocers Hall and Star Chamber_. His Apprentiship being out, the +Lady _Dormer_ sent for him to be her Cook under Father (who then +served that Honourable Lady) where were four Cooks more, such Noble +Houses were then kept, the glory of that, and the shame of this +present Age; then were those Golden Days wherein were practised the +_Triumphs and Trophies of Cookery_; then was Hospitality esteemed, +Neighbourhood preserved, the Poor cherished, and God honoured; then +was Religion less talkt on, and more practised; then was Atheism & +Schism less in fashion: then did men strive to be good, rather then +to seem so. Here he continued till the Lady _Dormer_ died, and then +went again to _London_, and served the Lord _Castlehaven_, after +that the Lord _Lumley_, that great lover and knower of Art, who +wanted no knowledge in the discerning this mystery; next the Lord +_Montague_ in _Sussex_; and at the beginning of these wars, the +Countess of _Kent_, then Mr. _Nevel_ of _Crissen Temple_ in _Essex_, +whose Ancestors the _Smiths_ (of whom he is descended) were the +greatest maintainers of Hospitality in all those parts; nor doth the +present M. _Nevel_ degenerate from their laudable examples. Divers +other Persons of like esteem and quality hath he served; as the Lord +_Rivers_, Mr. _John Ashburnam_ of the Bed-Chambers, Dr. _Steed_ in +_Kent_, Sir _Thomas Stiles_ of _Drury Lane_ in _London_, Sir +_Marmaduke Constable_ in _York-shire_, Sir _Charles Lucas_; and +lastly the Right Honourable the Lady _Englefield_, where he now +liveth. + +Thus have I given you a breif account of his Life, I shall next tell +you in what high esteem this noble Art was with the Ancient Romans: +_Plutarch_ reports, that _Lucullus_ his ordinary diet was fine +dainty dishes, with works of pastry, banketting dishes, and fruit +curiously wrought and prepared; that, his Table might be furnished +with choice of varieties, (as the noble Lord _Lumley_ did) that he +kept and nourished all manner of Fowl all the year long. To this +purpose he telleth us a story how _Pompey_ being sick, the +Physitians willed him to eat a Thrush, and it being said there was +none to be had; because it was then Summer; it was answered they +might have them at _Lucullus_'s house who kept both Thrushes and all +manner of Fowl, all the year long. This _Lucullus_ was for his +Hospitality so esteemed in _Rome_, that there was no talk, but of +his Noble House-keeping. The said _Plutarch_ reports how _Cicero_ +and _Pompey_ inviting themselves to sup with him, they would not let +him speak with his men to provide any thing more then ordinary; but +he telling them he would sup in _Apollo_, (a Chamber so named, and +every Chamber proportioned their expences) he by this wile beguil'd +them, and a supper was made ready estimated at fifty thousand pence, +every _Roman_ penny being seven pence half penny _English_ money; +a vast sum for that Age, before the _Indies_ had overflowed +_Europe_. But I have too far digressed from the Author of whom I +might speak much more as in relation to his Person and abilities, +but who will cry out the Sun shines? this already said is enough to +satisfie any but the malicious, who are the greatest enemies to all +honest endeavours. _Homer_ had his _Zoilus_, and _Virgil_ his +_Bavius_; the best Wits have had their detractors, and the greatest +Artists have been maligned; the best on't is, such Works as these +outlive their _Authors_ with an honurable respect of Posterity, +whilst envious Criticks never survive their own happiness, their +Lives going out like the snuff of a Candle. + + _W. W._ + + + + + _Triumphs and Trophies in Cookery, to be used at Festival Times, + as _Twelfth-day_, &c._ + + +Make the likeness of a Ship in Paste-board, with Flags and +Streamers, the Guns belonging to it of Kickses, bind them about with +packthread, and cover them with close paste proportionable to the +fashion of a Cannon with Carriages, lay them in places convenient as +you see them in Ships of war, with such holes and trains of powder +that they may all take Fire; Place your Ship firm in the great +Charger; then make a salt round about it, and stick therein +egg-shells full of sweet water, you may by a great Pin take all the +meat out of the egg by blowing, and then fill it up with the +rose-water, then in another Charger have the proportion of a Stag +made of course paste, with a broad Arrow in the side of him, and his +body filled up with claret-wine; in another Charger at the end of +the Stag have the proportion of a Castle with Battlements, +Portcullices, Gates and Draw-Bridges made of Past-board, the Guns +and Kickses, and covered with course paste as the former; place it +at a distance from the ship to fire at each other. The Stag being +placed betwixt them with egg shells full of sweet water (as before) +placed in salt. At each side of the Charger wherein is the Stag, +place a Pye made of course paste, in one of which let there be some +live Frogs, in each other some live Birds; make these Pyes of course +Paste filled with bran, and yellowed over with saffron or the yolks +of eggs, guild them over in spots, as also the Stag, the Ship, and +Castle; bake them, and place them with guilt bay-leaves on turrets +and tunnels of the Castle and Pyes; being baked, make a hole in the +bottom of your pyes, take out the bran, put in your Frogs, and +Birds, and close up the holes with the same course paste, then cut +the Lids neatly up; To be taken off the Tunnels; being all placed in +order upon the Table, before you fire the trains of powder, order it +so that some of the Ladies may be perswaded to pluck the Arrow out +of the Stag, then will the Claret-wine follow, as blood that runneth +out of a wound. This being done with admiration to the beholders, +after some short pause, fire the train of the Castle, that the +pieces all of one side may go off, then fire the Trains, of one side +of the Ship as in a battel; next turn the Chargers; and by degrees +fire the trains of each other side as before. This done to sweeten +the stink of powder, let the Ladies take the egg-shells full of +sweet waters and throw them at each other. All dangers being +seemingly over, by this time you may suppose they will desire to see +what is in the pyes; where lifting first the lid off one pye, out +skip some Frogs, which make the Ladies to skip and shreek; next +after the other pye, whence come out the Birds, who by a natural +instinct flying in the light, will put out the Candles; so that what +with the flying Birds and skipping Frogs, the one above, the other +beneath, will cause much delight and pleasure to the whole company: +at length the Candles are lighted, and a banquet brought in, the +Musick sounds, and every one with much delight and content rehearses +their actions in the former passages. These were formerly the +delight of the Nobility, before good House-keeping had left +_England_, and the Sword really acted that which was only +counterfeited in such honest and laudable Exercises as these. + + + + +[Decoration] + + _On the Unparalell'd Piece of _Mr. May_ His Cookery._ + + + See here a work set forth of such perfection, + Will praise it self, and doth not beg protection + From flatter'd greatness.

Thus with all meats sauce shall +have the operation. + + + + + Directions for the order of carving Fowl. + + + _Lift that Swan._ + +The manner of cutting up a Swan must be to slit her right down in +the middle of the breast, and so clean thorow the back from the neck +to the rump, so part her in two halves cleanly and handsomly, that +you break not nor tear the meat, lay the two halves in a fair +charger with the slit sides downwards, throw salt about it, and let +it again on the Table. Let your sauce be chaldron for a Swan, and +serve it in saucers. + + + _Rear the Goose._ + +You must break a goose contrary to the former way. Take a goose +being roasted, and take off both his legs fair like a shoulder of +Lamb, take him quite from the body then cut off the belly piece +round close to the lower end of the breast: lace her down with your +knife clean through the breast on each side your thumbs bredth for +the bone in the middle of the breast; then take off the pinion of +each side, and the flesh which you first lac't with your knife, +raise it up clear from the bone, and take it from the carcase with +the pinion; then cut up the bone which lieth before in the breast +(which is commonly call'd the merry thought) the skin and the flesh +being upon it; then cut from the brest-bone, another slice of flesh +clean thorow, & take it clean from the bone, turn your carcase, and +cut it asunder the back-bone above the loin-bones: then take the +rump-end of the back-bone, and lay it in a fair dish with the +skinny-side upwards, lay at the fore-end of that the merry-thought +with the skin side upward, 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 end of the legs may stand +up cross in the middle of the dish, & the wing pinions on the +outside of them; put under the wing pinions on each side the long +slices of flesh which you cut from the breast bone, and let the ends +meet under the leg bones, let the other ends lie cut in the dish +betwixt the leg and the pinion; then pour your sauce into the dish +under your meat, throw on salt, and set it on the table. + + + _To cut up a Turkey or Bustard._ + +Raise up the leg very fair, and open the joynt with the point of +your knife, but take not off the leg; then lace down the breast with +your knife on both sides, & open the breast pinion with the knife, +but take not the pinion off; then raise up the merry-thought betwixt +the breast bone, and the top of the merry-thought, lace down the +flesh on both sides of the breast-bone, and raise up the flesh +called the brawn, turn it outward upon both sides, but break it not, +nor cut it not off; then cut off the wing pinion at the joynt next +to the body, and stick on each side the pinion in the place where ye +turned out the brawn, but cut off the sharp end of the Pinion, take +the middle piece, and that will just fit the place. + +You may cut up a capon or pheasant the same way, but of your capon +cut not off the pinion, but in the place where you put the pinion of +the turkey, you must put the gizard of your capon on each side half. + + + _Dismember that Hern._ + +Take off both the legs, and lace it down to the breast with your +knife on both sides, raise up the flesh, and take it clean off with +the pinion; then stick the head in the breast, set the pinion on the +contrary side of the carcase, and the leg on the other side, so that +the bones ends may meet cross over the carcase, and the other wings +cross over upon the top of the carcase. + + + _Unbrace that Mallard._ + +Raise up the pinion and the leg, but take them not off, raise the +merry-thought from the breast, and lace it down on each side of the +breast with your knife, bending to and fro like ways. + + + _Unlace that Coney._ + +Turn the back downwards, & cut the belly flaps clean off from the +kidney, but take heed you cut not the kidney nor the flesh, then put +in the point of your knife between the kidneys, and loosen the flesh +from each side the bone then turn up the back of the rabbit, and cut +it cross between the wings, and lace it down close by the bone with +your knife on both sides, then open the flesh of the rabbit from the +bone, with the point of your knife against the kidney, and pull the +leg open softly with your hand, but pluck it not off, then thrust in +your knife betwixt the ribs and the kidney, slit it out, and lay the +legs close together. + + + _Sauce that Capon._ + +Lift up the right leg and wing, and so array forth, and lay him in +the platter as he should fly, and so serve him.

Fourteen days will feed a chicken +sufficiently. + + + _To feed Capons._ + +Either at the barn doors with scraps of corn and chavings of pulse, +or else in pens in the house, by cramming them, which is the most +dainty. The best way to cram a capon (setting all strange inventions +apart) is to take barley meal, reasonably sifted, and mixing it with +new milk, make it into good stiff dough; than make it into long +crams thickest in the middle, & small at both ends, then wetting +them in luke-warm milk, giue the capon a full gorge thereof three +times a day morning noon, and night, and he will in a fortnight or +three weeks be as fat as any man need to eat. + + + _The ordering of Goslings._ + +After they are hatched you shall keep them in the house ten or +twelve days, and feed them with curds, scalded chippins, or barley +meal in milk knodden and broken, also ground malt is exceeding good, +or any bran that is scalded in water, milk, or tappings of drink. +After they have got a little strength, you may let them go abroad +with a keeper five or six hours in a day, and let the dam at her +leisure entice them into the water; then bring them in, and put them +up, and thus order them till they be able to defend themselves from +vermine. After a gosling is a month or six weeks old you may put it +up to feed for a green goose, & it will be perfectly fed in another +month following; and to feed them, there is no better meat then skeg +oats boil'd, and given plenty thereof thrice a day, morning, noon, +and night, with good store of milk, or milk and water mixt together +to drink. + + + _For fatting of elder Geese._ + +For elder geese which are five or six months old, having been in the +stubble fields after harvest, and got into good flesh, you shall +then choose out such geese as you would feed, and put them in +several Pens which are close and dark, and there feed them thrice a +day with good store of oats, or spelted beans, and give them to +drink water and barly meal mixt together, which must evermore stand +before them. This will in three weeks feed a goose so fat as is +needfull. + + + _The fatting of Ducklings._ + +You may make them fat in three weeks giving them any kind of pulse +or grain, and good store of water. + + + _Fatting of Swans and Cygnets._ + +For Swans and their feeding, where they build their nests, you shall +suffer them to remain undisturbed, and it will be sufficient because +they can better order themselves in that business than any man. + +Feed your Cygnets in all sorts as you feed your Geese, and they will +be through fat in seven or eight weeks. If you will have them sooner +fat, you shall feed them in some pond hedged, or placed in for that +purpose. + + + _Of fatting Turkies._ + +For the fatting of turkies sodden barley is excellent, or sodden +oats for the first fortnight, and then for another fortnight cram +them in all sorts as you cram your capon, and they will be fat +beyond measure. Now for their infirmities, when they are at liberty, +they are so good _Physitians_ for themselves, that they will never +trouble their owners; but being coopt up you must cure them as you +do pullets. Their eggs are exceeding wholesome to eat, and restore +nature decayed wonderfully. + +Having a little dry ground where they may sit and prune themselves, +place two troughs, one full of barley and water, and the other full +of old dried malt wherein they may feed at their pleasure. Thus +doing, they will be fat in less than a month: but you must turn his +walks daily. + + + _Of nourishing and fatting Herns, Puets, Gulls, and Bitterns._ + +Herns are nourished for two causes, either for Noblemens sports, to +make trains for the entering their hawks, or else to furnish the +table at great feasts; the manner of bringing them up with the least +charge, is to take them out of their nests before they can flie, and +put them into a large high barn, where there is many high cross +beams for them to pearch on; then to have on the flour divers square +boards with rings in them, and between every board which should be +two yards square, to place round shallow tubs full of water, then to +the boards you shall tye great gobbits of dogs flesh, cut from the +bones, according to the number which you feed, and be sure to keep +the house sweet, and shift the water often, only the house must be +made so, that it may rain in now and then, in which the hern will +take much delight; but if you feed her for the dish, then you shall +feed them with livers, and the entrals of beasts, and such like cut +in great gobbits. + + + _To feed Codwits, Knots, Gray-Plovers, or Curlews._ + +Take fine chilter-wheat, and give them water thrice a day, morning, +noon, and night; which will be very effectual; but if you intend to +have them extraordinary crammed fowl, then you shall take the finest +drest wheat-meal, and mixing it with milk, make it into paste, and +ever as you knead it, sprinkle into the grains of small +chilter-wheat, till the paste be fully mixt therewith; then make +little small crams thereof, and dipping them in water, give to every +fowl according to his bigness, and let his gorge be well filled: do +thus as oft as you shall find their gorges empty, and in one +fortnight they will be fed beyond measure, and with these crams you +may feed any fowl of what kind or nature soever. + + + _Otherways._ + +Feed them with good wheat and water, give them thrice a day, +morning, noon, and night; if you will have them very fat & crammed +fowl, take fine wheat meal & mix it with milk, & make it into paste, +and as you knead it, put in some corns of wheat sprinkled in amongst +the paste till the paste be fully mixt therewith; then make little +small crams thereof, and dipping them in water, give to every fowl +according to his bigness, and that his gorge be well filled: do thus +as oft as you shall find their gorges empty, and in one fortnight +they will be fed very fat; with these crams you may feed any fowl of +what kind or nature soever. + + + _To feed Black-Birds Thrushes, Felfares, + or any small Birds whatsoever._ + +Being taken old and wild, it is good to have some of their kinds +tame to mix among them, and then putting them into great cages of +three or four yards square, to have divers troughs placed therein, +some filled with haws, some with hemp seed, and some with water, +that the tame teaching the wild to eat, and the wild finding such +change and alteration of food, they will in twelve or fourteen days +grow exceeding fat, and fit for the kitchen. + + + _To feed Olines._ + +Put them into a fine room where they may have air, give them water, +and feed them with white bread boiled in good milk, and in one week +or ten days they will be extraordinary fat. + + + _To feed Pewets._ + +Feed them in a place where they may have the air, set them good +store of water, and feed them with sheeps lungs cut small into +little bits, give it them on boards, and sometimes feed them with +shrimps where they are near the sea, and in one fortnight they will +be fat if they be followed with meat. Then two or three days before +you spend them give them cheese curd to purge them. + + + _The feedings of Pheasant, Partridge, Quails, and Wheat Ears._ + +Feed them with good wheat and water, this given them thrice a day, +morning noon, and night, will do it very effectually; but if you +intend to have them extraordinary crammed fowl, then take the finest +drest wheatmeal, mix it with milk, and make into paste, ever as you +knead it, sprinkle in the grains of corns of wheat, till the paste +be full mixt there with; then make little small crams, dip them in +water, and give to every fowl according to his bigness, that his +gorge be well filled; do thus as often as you shall find his gorge +empty, and in one fortnight they will be fed beyond measure. Thus +you may feed turtle Doves. + + +FINIS. + + + + +The Table. + + [Transcriber's Note: + Alphabetization in the Table is unchanged.] + + + A. + + _Andolians._ page 22 + _Almond Pudding_ 181 +

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/22790.zip b/old/22790.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5ca1fa5 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/22790.zip |
