66. Good Bruet with Meat Broth Which is Called "Sponge". You must take a clean pot and cast in it the best and fattiest broth of the pot which is well-salted, and strain this broth through a woolen cloth; and cast it in your pot, and leave it there to cool until it has lost its heat; and while it is cooling, cast into the pot cinnamon, and ginger, and saffron all ground up; and then take two egg yolks for each dish, and beat them with verjuice, and with just a little white vinegar, that the broth should be a little bit sour; and then cast it in the pot, and set it to cook stirring constantly until it boils; because if you do not stir it, it will immediately curdle and separate; and when it is well-cooked, remove it from the fire; and prepare dishes; and if you wish, then you can cast a little broth in each dish and it will look a little like yellow sponge; and because of this it is called "bruet of sponge".
