Not a Pye recipe from which Ben Wolfson would shy:
Pyes of mutton or beif must be fyne mynced and ceasoned wyth pepper and salte, and a lyttle saffron to coloure it, suet or marrow a good quantite, a lyttle vyneger, prumes, greate raysins and dates, take the fattest of the broathe of powdred beyfe, and yf you wyll have paest royall, take butter and yolkes of egges and so tempre the flowre to make the paeste.What else I have to say on cockery concerns l'affaire Finch, but I've spent the day learning about Hansen's disease, which is a little draining. Still cases every year in the USA! Please—friends, loved ones—try to avoid the leprosy. If for no other reason, it's sure to greatly annoy your Valentine.
