149. _To boil a Capon on the French fashion._
Boil your Capon in water and salt, and a little dusty Oatmeal to make it
look white, then take two or three Ladles full of Mutton Broth, a Faggot
of sweet herbs, two or three Dates cut in long pieces, a few parboiled
Currans, and a little whole Pepper, a little Mace and Nutmeg, thicken
it with Almonds; season it with Verjuice, Sugar, and a little sweet
Butter, then take up your Capon and lard it well with preserved Limon,
then lay it in a deep Dish, and pour the broth upon it; then Garnish
your Dish with Suckets and preserved Barberries.
150. _To Souce a Pike, Carp or Bream._
Draw your Fish, but scale it not, and save the Liver of it; wash it very
well, then take white Wine, as much water again as Wine, boil them
together with whole Spice, Salt and a bundle of sweet Herbs, and when
boiles put in your Fish, and just before it a little Vinegar; for that
will make it crisp: when it is enough, take it up and put it into a
Trey, then put into the Liquor some whole Pepper, and whole Ginger, and
when it is boiled enough, take it off and cool it, and when it is quite
cold, put in your Fish, and when you serve it in, lay some of the Jelly
about the Dish sides, and some Fennel and Sawcers of Vinegar.
