SC - Documented(?) Bread Pudding

[CBlackwill at aol.com]

I found this recipe in Cariadoc's Miscellany (It's from Ein Buch von guter 
Spise), and thought it would be appropriate for the "Bread Pudding' topic.  
>From what I can gather, it is very similar to modern bread pudding, sans egg 
(though the author does suggest using eggs if another milk besides almond 
milk is used).

I'll be trying this recipe out on Tuesday, and I'll let you know how it comes 
out.  For those of you who have tried it before, any production tips?

Take almond kernels. Make that in boiling water. (Blanch them) Pound them and 
thrust them through a cloth or grind them. Take fine hearth bread. Cut the 
upper crust down fine and thin. Cut thereafter slices, the thinnest that you 
can that begin under the upper crust. Each slice should be round. Join the 
slices four together and cut them small as a strap and cut them crosswise 
over, so you make (them) small. Hold the almond milk over the fire. Let it 
become warm. Throw the bread therein so that it becomes thick. Hold it over 
the fire. Let it boil and give it in the bowls and strew a sugar thereon. 
That is called calcus and give out. Also you may make other milk too, if you 
want to add egg yolks thereto.
