It will be yet better meat, if you add to it, at the last
(when you add all the other heightnings) some Marrow, and some Chess-nuts,
and some Pistachios, if you will. Put to your Broom-buds (before you put
them in to the rest) some elder Vinegar, enough to soak them, and even to
cover them. If you find this make your composition of the whole too sharp,
you may next time take less. When you put the Beef to stew with the wine
(or a while after) you may put to it a pretty quantity (as much as you can
take in both hands at once) of shreded Cabbage, if it be the season; or of
Turneps, if you like either of these. Carrots make it somewhat flat. If the
wine be not quick enough, you may put a little elder Vinegar to it. If you
like Garlike, you may put in a little, or rub the dish with it.
PICKLED CHAMPIGNONS
Champignons are best, that grow upon gravelly dry rising Grounds. Gather
them of the last nights growth; and to preserve them white, it is well to
cast them into a pitcher of fair-water, as you gather them: But that is not
absolutely necessary, if you will go about dressing them as soon as you
come home.
