68. _To make a Neats-tongue Pie._

Let two small Neats tongues or one great one be tenderly boiled, then
peel them and slice them very thin, season them with Pepper and Salt,
and Nutmeg; then having your Paste ready laid into your baking-pan, lay
some Butter in the bottom, then lay in your Tongues, and one pound of
Raisins of the Sun, with a very little Sugar, then lay in more butter,
so close it and bake it, then cut it up, and put in the yolks of three
Eggs, a little Claret Wine and Butter, stir it well together, and lay on
the Cover, and serve it; you may add a little Sugar if you please.


69. _A Capon with white Broth._

Take a large Capon, and draw him, and truss him, and boil him in water
and a little salt, with some whole Spice:

When you think it is almost enough, put in one pound of Currans well
washed and picked, four Ounces of Dates stoned and diced thin, and when
they have boiled enough, put in half a pound of sweet Almonds blanched
and beaten fine with Rose-water, strain them in with some of the Liquor,
then put in some Sack and Sugar; then lay some thin slices of white
bread into a deep Dish, and lay your Capon in the midst, then pour your
Broth over it.

Garnish your dish with plumped Raisins and Prunes, and serve it in.
