I don't think "almain" is meant to be almond, but "Allemagne" --
which is the French word for "German". I have no idea what
"German Bruet" would contain.
However, in the glossary to Curye on Inglysch, I found references.
Brewet de Almayne is a dish of meat (chicken or kid or rabbit),
cooked in almond milk with ginger and galingale. Some versions
are colored; others are left white.
