r both, which the original does not
state.

Schuch and his disciple Danneil, have inserted here
seven more pork formulae (Sch. p. 179, {Rx} Nos. 388-394)
taken from the Excerpts of Vinidarius, found at the
conclusion of the Apicius formulae.

HARE
_LEPOREM_

[382] BRAISED HARE
_LEPOREM MADIDUM_

IS PARBOILED A LITTLE IN WATER, THEREUPON PLACE IT ON A ROASTING PAN
WITH OIL, TO BE ROASTED IN THE OVEN. AND WHEN PROPERLY DONE, WITH A
CHANGE OF OIL, IMMERSE IT IN THE FOLLOWING GRAVY: CRUSH PEPPER,
SATURY, ONION, RUE, CELERY SEED; MOISTEN WITH BROTH, LASER, WINE, AND
A LITTLE OIL. WHILE THE ROASTING [of the hare] IS BEING COMPLETED IT
IS SEVERAL TIMES BASTED WITH THE GRAVY.

Wanting in Goll.

A difference in the literary style from the foregoing is
quite noticeable.

[383] THE SAME, WITH A DIFFERENT DRESSING
_ITEM ALIA AD EUM IMPENSAM_

[The hare] MUST BE PROPERLY KEPT [i.e. aged for a few days after
killing]. CRUSH PEPPER, DATES, LASER, RAISINS, REDUCED WINE, BROTH AND
OIL; DEPOSIT [the hare in this preparation to be cooked] WHEN DONE,
SPRINKLE WITH PEPPER AND SERVE.

Wanting in Goll. Tor. continuing without interruption.

[384] STUFFED HARE
_LEPOREM FARSUM_

WHOLE [pine] NUTS, ALMONDS, CHOPPED NUTS OR BEECHNUTS, WHOLE PEPPER
ARE MIXED WITH THE [force] MEAT OF HARE THICKENED WITH EGGS AND
WRAPPED IN PIG'S CAUL TO BE ROASTED IN THE OVEN [1]. ANOTHER FORCEMEAT
IS MADE WITH RUE, PLENTY OF PEPPER, ONION, SATURY, DATES, BROTH,
REDUCED WINE, OR SPICED WINE. THIS IS REDUCED TO THE PROPER
CONSISTENCY AND IS LAID UNDER; BUT THE HARE REMAINS IN THE BROTH
FLAVORED WITH LASER.

[1] Reminding of the popular meat loaf, made of
remnants: _Falscher Hase_, "Imitation Hare," as it is
known on the Continent.

The ancients probably used the trimmings of hare and
other meat for this forcemeat, or meat loaf, either to
stuff the hare with, or to make a meal of the
preparation itself, as indicated above.

We also recall that the ancients had ingenious baking
moulds of metal in the shape of hares and other animals.
These moulds, no doubt, were used for baking or the
serving of preparations of this sort. The absence of
table forks and cutlery as is used today made such
preparations very appropriate and convenient in
leisurely dining.
