Ah, I've found my next million! Mouthwash for partridges. Just think about it. Many diseases originate from bad gum care so adding Listerine to poultry water would help in all around health. Of course, the orange flavored would be far superior to the original or mint in the final table bird taste test.
Cabbages have a higher relish that grow on new unmanured grounds; if grown in an old town and on old gardens, they have a rankness, which at times, may be perceived by a fresh air traveller
Here's hoping modern day sanitation has improved cabbage growing for the city gardeners.
Best I can figure out is neets/neats are animals, usually cattle, with hooves? Hence, the foot pie. But not the hooves so maybe the lower part of the leg that's not so meaty?
A sick bed Custard. Scald a quart of milk, sweeten and salt a little, whip 3 eggs and stir in, bake on coals in a pewter vessel.
Uh, if I'm already sick then the pewter dish would hasten the trip to the graveyard.
3 teaspoons of ashes in the Christmas cookie recipe? If I'm going to forget them in the oven, do I really need this ingredient?
In dressing all sorts of kitchen garden herbs, take care they are clean washed; that there be no small snails, or caterpillars between the leaves
Especially if you're guests are vegan.
I wonder if ‘ashes’ - ‘pearl ash’ are the 1700’s equivalent to baking soda or powder?
Then there’s the ‘rose water’? something like vanilla maybe?
(next week I’ll find an old cookbook online that has some more modern functional ‘receipts’ :>)
