Hieatt and Butler, in their glossary of Middle English culinary terms,
appendixed to Curye On Inglysh, translate "dele" or deele" as "an amount
or portion", and "thriddendele" as "one third each". See the Forme of
Cury recipes 68, 105, 138. In #68 (payn ragoun) the usage is slightly
different, referring to one ingredient being one third [of something
else or the total] while the reference #'s 105 and 138 is pretty clearly
to equal parts of each of three ingredients: for example a
court-bouillion for boiling pig's feet being equal parts of wine,
vinegar, and water.
