Garbage

 

Take fair garbage, chicken heads, feet, livers and gysers (gizzards), and wash them clean.

Cast them into a fair pot.

And cast (into a pot) fresh broth of beef, powder of pepper, canell (cinammon), cloves, maces, parsley and sage minced small.

Then take bread, steep it in the same broth, draw it through a strainer, cast thereto (presumably into the pot with the garbage), and let boil enough.

Cast thereto powder of ginger, verjuice (sauce of sour apples), and a little saffron, and serve it forth.
