tur...._

Plainly, we are dealing here with fresh, uncured ham.

[3] A certain biscuit or cake made of must, spices and
pepper, perhaps baked on laurel leaves. _Mustaceus_ was
a kind of cake, the flour of which had been kneaded with
must, cheese, anise, etc., the cake was baked upon
laurel leaves.

[4] Tor. continues without interruption. He has the
three foregoing formulae thrown into one.

[290] BACON, SALT PORK
_LARIDI _[1]_ COCTURA_

COVER WITH WATER AND COOK WITH PLENTY OF DILL; SPRINKLE WITH A LITTLE
OIL AND A TRIFLE OF SALT.

[1] Lister, at this point, has forgotten his explanation
of _laridum_, and now accepts the word in its proper
sense. This rather belated correction by Lister
confirms the correctness of our own earlier
observations. Cf. note to {Rx} Nos. 41 and 148.

LIVERS AND LUNGS
_JECINORA SIVE PULMONES_

[291] SHEEP LIVER
_JECINORA H{OE}DINA VEL AGNINA_ [1]

COOK THUS: MAKE A MIXTURE OF WATER, MEAD, EGGS AND MILK IN WHICH
THOROUGHLY SOAK THE SLICED LIVER. STEW THE LIVER IN WINE SAUCE,
SPRINKLE WITH PEPPER AND SERVE.

[1] G.-V. _Iecinera h{oe}dina_.

[292] ANOTHER WAY TO COOK LUNG
_ALITER IN PULMONIBUS_

LIVER AND LUNG ARE ALSO COOKED THIS WAY: [1] SOAK WELL IN MILK, STRAIN
IT OFF IF OFFENSIVE IN TASTE [2] BREAK 2 EGGS AND ADD A LITTLE SALT,
MIX IN A SPOONFUL HONEY AND FILL THE LUNG WITH IT, BOIL AND SLICE [3].

[1] Tor.

[2] Lungs of slaughtered animals are little used
nowadays. The soaking of livers in milk is quite common;
it removes the offensive taste of the gall.

[3] G.-V. continue without interruption.

[293] A HASH OF LIVER
_ALITER_

CRUSH PEPPER, MOISTEN WITH BROTH, RAISIN WINE, PURE OIL, CHOP THE
LIGHTS [1] FINE AND ADD WINE SAUCE [2].

[1] Edible intestines, livers, lung, kidney, etc., are
thus named.

[2] List., Tor., G.-V. have both recipes in one. Dann.
is in doubt whether to separate them or not.

HOME-MADE SWEET DISHES AND HONEY SWEET-MEATS
_DULCIA DOMESTICA _[1]_ ET MELCAE_

[294] HOME-MADE SWEETS
_DULCIA DOMESTICA_

LITTLE HOME CONFECTIONS (WHICH ARE CALLED DULCIARIA) ARE MADE THUS:
[2] LITTLE PALMS OR (AS THEY ARE ORDINARILY CALLED) [3] DATES ARE
STUFFED--AFTER THE SEEDS HAVE BEEN REMOVED--WITH A NUT OR WITH NUTS
AND GROUND PEPPER, SPRINKLED WITH SALT ON THE OUTSIDE AND ARE CANDIED
IN HONEY A
