All the recipes in TTKT are from The Forme of Cury, yes, the original recipe
is given, and yes, the beurre manie used in Sass's adapted recipe is sheer
invention. There seems to be some modernly perceived need to have sauces
thickened, in spite of the fact that both "gode broth" and juice from cooked
mushrooms are significantly thicker than water, _and_ the fact that this dish
is a pottage, intended to be eaten with a spoon, anyway.

On the other hand, as sheer inventions go, it is not up there with Dr.
Cosman's garnish of shredded red licorice whips, is it?
