To make a Pottage of Beef Pallets.

TAke beef pallets that are tender boild and blanched, cut each pallet in two pieces, and set them a stew∣ing between two dishes with a fine piece of interlarded ba∣con, a handful of champignions, and five or six sweet∣breads of veal, a ladle full of strong broth, and as much mutton gravy, an onion or two, two or three cloves, a blade or two of large mace, and an orange; as the pallets stew make ready a dish with the botoms and tops of French bread slic't and steeped in mutton gravy, and the broth the pallets were stewed in; then you must have the mar∣row of two or three beef bones stewed in a little strong broth by it self in good big gobbets: and when the pal∣lets, marrow, sweetbreads, and the rest are enough, take out the bacon, onions, and spices, and dish up the foresaid materials on the dish of steeped bread, lay the marrow up∣permost in pieces, then wring on the juyce of two or three oranges, and serve it to the table very hot.
