Original Text
NEVER put any seasoning into it, unless desired. You must either put good gravy, or green-sauce in the dish, made thus: take a handful of sorrel, beat in a mortar, and squeeze the juice out, add to it the juice of an orange or lemon, and a little sugar, beat it in a pipkin, and pour it into your dish; but the best way is to put gravy in the dish, and green-sauce in a cup or boat. Or made thus: take half a pint of the juice of sorrel a spoon- ful of white-wine, a little grated nutmeg, a little grated bread; boil them a quarter of an hour softly, then drain it and put it into the sauce-pan again, and stew it with a little sugar, give it a boil, and pour it into a dish or bason; some like a little piece of butter rolled in flour, and put into it.
