SC - A Question about thriddendele.

[David & Sue Carter]

the Cheshire Cat asked for an interpretation of a mystery word:

According to Hiett and Butler, in the glossary of Curye on Inglysch,
thriddendele means the third part,
so:
for every two parts of honey, add one part of pine nuts, and add powdered
ginger thereafter.
