"The Second Part of The Good Hus-Wives Jewell" (1597?) has a recipe
called 'A made dish of the proportion of an Egge, for flesh daies'. It
also calls for bladders as a shaping medium, and uses a prepared
stuffing instead of yolks (although I believe yolks are in the
stuffing), which then gets encased in the whites. No mention is made in
that text about swirling water, but I recall seeing that somewhere else.
Just not sure where. I also recall seeing such a recipe wherein the yolk
of the giant egg is simply made from egg yolks. I'll look for it. It may
also be the one with the swirling water, although I may be confused with
something else: I know there's a recipe somewhere that produces a
spherical fried egg, made by stirring the deep-frying fat into a
whirlpool of sorts and dropping the egg in the middle.
