Subject: [Sca-cooks] Well, in *that* case... some recipes

 

OK, here's tonight's transcriptions.  They're from The Good Huswife's

Jewell, by Thomas Dawson, published 1596 in London.

 

Particular features of interest here include a recipe including

"potatons", a rather topical recipe for rosehips, the world's shortest

and most pointless recipe for pigeon, and a recipe advising you to strew

spices upon your cock.

 

Feedback/questions/etc welcome -- especially if you note any typos that

look more like keyboard errors than lack-of-standardised-spelling.

Well, I was assuming it was some kind of offal, but didn't really know.

The recipes are from pages 17-21 of the book, roughly. Earlier recipes

can be found at http://infotrope.net/sca/texts/good-huswifes-jewell/

where my work in progress is kept.  They're in the order in which they

appear in the book.

 

There's no table of contents, and the book isn't broken down into

sections much, or at least not as far as I can see.  It seems that the

author would wander along on one subject, such as "pies and tarts" until

he was distracted by something else, and go off on a tangent there, and

perhaps come back again later or perhaps not.  So you can't really draw

any conclusions from the ordering of the recipes, except that there is

a moderate likelihood (but no certainty) that two adjacent recipes are

related in some way.

 

On page 23, which I'm fast approaching, there is a list of "The names of

all thinges necessary for a banquet", and then it seems to go into a few

recipes for banquetting dishes. I was quite expecting a coherent section

on banquetting dishes, since that seems to be common in books from

around this time, but it only holds for a couple of pages before it goes

off in totally different directions.

 

Here's a quick list of recipe names, in order, from that section:

 

To make Manus Christi

To make a Caudle to comfort the stomacke, good for an olde man

TO make a Trifle

To make Marmelat of Quinces

To make butter paste

To make Fritter stuffe

To make a made dishe of Artechokes

To frie Bakon

To frie Chickins

To make a Sallet of all kinde of hearbes

A sauce for a conie

To make a Sallet of Lemmons

To make a sausedge

 

... so you can see, he's not so good at staying on topic.

 

Still no idea what a mugget is.  Anyone got an OED handy?

No OED but according to an online dictionary:

 

Mugget \Mug"get\ (?), n. The small entrails of a calf or a hog.

> So, what is a "mugget"?

 

The mugget referred to may be a veal tripe entity also known as the

margut or marrowgut. It's some kind of gut piping found only in unweaned

calves, like a very tender second esophagus (remember calves are

ruminants); its character changes entirely when the calf is weaned.

Margut is considered an indispensable ingredient for the cowboy stew

known as S.O.B. However, Michael Best, in his glossary for his edition

of Gervase Markham's "The English Housewife", simply says a mugget is

entrails or chitterlings.

 

What _I_ want to know is, is there a word missing following the word

"white" in the first line of this recipe?

Nope.  This particular recipe book uses "white" as a noun all over the

place.  From context and comparison with similar texts, I'm 99.9% sure

it refers to suet.

Greetings from Johnnae llyn Lewis

 

I do not [know] which "edition" that

Lady Katherine Rowberd (mka Kirrily "Skud" Robert)

is making use of for her transcriptions that she

is posting here, but let me reassure everyone that

Thomas Dawson's Good Huswifes Jewell, 2 parts,

STC numbers 6392 and 6395 does in fact contain

"The table of the booke follovving gathered according

to euery folio throughout the whole Booke".

This section follows the first part of The

Good Huswifes Jewell and consists of 5 pages.

It does detail the recipes in the original

volume first part by Thomas Dawson.

Then "The Second part of the good Huf-wiues

Iewell" follows with "The Table" for that book

found immediately after the title page.

Both books do contain title pages.

This is the 1596 first part and the 1597 Second

Part. I would be most happy to provide a full

bibliographic statement for both for those that

cannot have their librarians locally provide one.

The work is course available in a 1977 facsimile,

on microfilm through UMI, and now online through

EEBO. It was reprinted in a combined edition by

Southover Press in the United Kingdom in 1996.
