I was thinking more in terms of the keychain light and the steak knives
if they order before midnight tonight...

I remember an extremely late or post-period recipe for "To Bake a(n)
____ (some kinda fish) With A French Puddynge in His Bellye", if I
remember correctly. I have also boned out a leg of lamb and filled it
with a stuffing of the mixture that goes into a haggis. Does that count?

My all-time favorite one of these is in Isaak Walton's "The Compleat
Angler" (Roughly contemporary to Sir Kenelm Digby or the Diaries of
Samuel Pepys, ~1669 or so). It involves roasting a whole pike, drawn
through the gills, with a pound of butter, the juice of several Seville
oranges, some lemons, pickled oysters and/or anchovies, the liver of the
fish, pureed through a sieve, claret wine, and an optional clove of
garlic. This turns into a sauce while the fish is roasted, and the sauce
pours out of the fish when you cut into it.

Marvellous juxtaposition! Would you say the child is, in this case, you
or your Lord husband ;  ) ?

Sorry! Couldn't resist!
