SC - Standing pottages, Mortrews, and Bacon

pottages and mortrews, I think:

I respectfully submit that if cream of leek soup, slightly thickened
with oatmeal, has anything in common with mortrews, I suggest that the
redaction of either or both needs to be re-evaluated. Or are oats being
classified as a legume, thereby invoking the Ancient Prejudice of Aoife?

Yon men who don't like corned beef have a lean and hungry look; such men
are dangerous. Just out of curiosity, what were you using for bacon?
