TAke a fillet of Veal with the udder, roste it; and be∣ing rosted, cut away the frothy flap, and cut it into thin slices; then mince it very fine with two handfuls of French capers, and currans one handful; and season it with a little beaten nutmeg, ginger, mace, cinamon, and a handful of sugar; and stew these with a pound of butter, a quarter of a pint of vinegar, as much caper liquor a faggot of sweet herbs, and a little salt: Let all these boil softly the space of two hours, now and then stirring it; being finely stewed, dish it up, and stick about it fried toste, or stock-fritters, &c.

Or to this foresaid Hash, you may adde some yolks of hard eggs minced among the meat, or minced and min∣gled, and put whole currans, whole capers, and some white wine.

Or to this foresaid Hash you may, being hashed, put no∣thing but beaten butter onely with lemon, and the meat cut like little square dice, and served with beaten butter, and lemon on fine carved sippets.
