Greetings to this fair assembly,
I am looking for a primary source reference for either a Ballotine of
Pork, or Gallantine. These may have been listed under other names, as I am
not sure if these names were used in "period". Essentially, they are both
mixtures of pork and other meats (these in the form of a forcemeat or pate)
wrapped in chicken skin and tied into a cylindrical shape and
poached/braised. The Ballotine, technically, would be wrapped in muslin
(cheesecloth). Any help would be appreciated. I have plenty of great modern
recipes for these, but am looking for something documentable.
In service to the Crown,
