Geese.
SINGE a goose, and pour over it a quart of boiling
milk. Let it continue in the milk all night, then take
it out, and dry it well with a cloth. Cut an onion very
small with some sage, put them into the goose, sew it up
at the neck and vent, and hang it up by the legs till the
next day; then put it into a pot of cold water, cover it
close, and let it boil gently for an hour. Serve it up
with onion sauce.
