Catalan-Style Gourds. Get the gourds - that is, squash - and clean them thoroughly and put them into a mortar with salt pork and good beaten lardo, and put the mortar onto the coals and bring it to a boil, constantly stirring with a spoon; they should boil like that for two hours; then get good cheese, good fat broth, saffron, mild spices and a very little verjuice and put them into the pot - except for the cheese which should go in last along with the egg.
