Cretone of new peas. Cook them almost to mush, drain them, and fry them in lard. Boil cow's milk for an instant and soak your bread in the milk. Crush ginger and saffron, steep in the milk, and boil. Take chickens cooked in water, quarter them, fry them, and add them to the milk to boil. Withdraw it to the back of the fire and thread in plenty of egg yolks.
