SC - ESTURGON "CONTREFAIT"

[DUNHAM Patricia R]

Just occured to me... "contrefait de" = counterfeited with/by

Actually, the first time I came across this term someone was having a
contest for a PERIOD FILK song, that is, to find period examples of
period words  B set to the music of period song A -- hmm, the word she
was using was actually "contrefact", I think... but the sense is
obviously the same.

| 			ESTURGON CONTREFAIT DE VEEL pour six escuelles
|
| 		 CUNTEFIT STURGEON OF VEEL??? (VEAL?) for six plates
| (???fake sturgeon???)
|
|
| 	The night before or early in the morning take 6 veal ??(veel)
heads
| without skining??? (escorcher) and in hot water, like a pig, take the
| feathers off (plumez) (likely referring to taking the hairs off since
| veals like pigs have no feathers , at least not up in Quebec LOL) cook
| them in wine and add a pint of vinegar and salt in it, boil till it is
| al roten in copper (tout pourry de cuivre)(probally falling apart like
| rothen meat, the copper part surely refers to the color be it
| bronw/golden like shined copper  or green like oxidise copper beats
me)
| then let the heads cool donw and take the bones out. Then take a
quarter
| of heavy canvas, put  it all in as much as you can , then sew it with
| tough threads like a square pillow, then put it between 2 "ais" (these
| are bords used in a press) and press hard and leave it (in press?) for
| the night in the basement (cool?); then cut it in "lesches" (thin
| layers), "la couenne (couenne is a pork skin) dehors comme venoison
| (game)" )leaving the skin around on the outside like games), add
parsley
| and vinegar and pour 2 pieces on each dish (plates).
| Option: if you do not find enough heads, you (peut faire) can use???
| (make???) a "vele entrpelé"???  ( sorry I do not know what could this
| be, a guess  would be the "abbats" (gutting? (liver, heart, kidney) or
| the "lost" part (left overs or "soup" parts, basically lower quality
| parts).
