Reading this, I don't see any evidence that the _salmon_ is to be pulped,
just the breadcrumbs in the broth, which seems to be a common thickening,
like flour is for us.  I wonder if the authors thought that smoothing the
breadcrumb thickening was a given in medieval recipes which was omitted
simply because it was so obvious?  Kind of like not necessarily telling a
modern cook ... actually, I can't think of an example off hand, all my
cookbooks seem to be written with non-cooks in mind so all the instructions
are spelled out.

*sigh* I think my brain has gone on holiday today!
