SC - Re:Soups with a grain in it

[Sue Wensel]

Ruadh asks for a soup with a grain in it.  Adamantius points out that Markham
has several.  I just happened (for a change) to have some sources at work for
research I am doing in the evening.

Here goes:

_Of Boiled Meats Ordinary_ (I am not going to quote the recipe, just the
ingredients)

Mutton or Beef, Water, Violet leaves, Endive, Succory, Strawberry leaves,
Spiach, Langdebeef (anyone have any idea), marigold flowers (calendula, not
French marigold), Scallions, Parsley, Oatmeal (half as much as there are
herbs), 

_Pottage without the sight of herbs_

Same as above, but you chop the herbs and oatmeal and "with some of the warm
liquor in the pot strain it as hard as may be"

_Pottage without herbs_

Use the meat, beaten oatmeal, and onions

_Pottage with whole herbs_

Mutton, veal, or kid; Oatmeal; Lettuce; Spinach; Endive; Succory; Leaves of
Cauliflower (would this be instead of the white flower?); White cabbage --
insides; Onions; Salt; Verjuice


If you need more detail just let me know.

P.S. Markham has a recipe for Olla Podrida that calls for potato roots --
nifty. He says it's from Spain.
