and Lady Mairin ben Dhiarmait translated:
>To make an omelette of eggs and bacon  
>
>Beat ten fresh eggs and have six ounces of streaky bacon cut [into pieces?].  
>Three ounces of onion will have been cooked in the ashes of the hot coals,
>and chopped fine, and fried in melted lard with the [it says cut, but I think
>it means chopped] bacon.  Mix with the eggs three ounces of buttery cheese,
>half an ounce each pepper and cinnamon, and finely chopped herbs.  Put all
>of this in the frying pan where the bacon and the onion is, and serve hot
>with orange juice over the top.

Well, i'd say for
>seis onzas de tocino entreverado cortado a dados
cortado a dados = cut in dice
