[Sca-cooks] online glossary

[Cindy M. Renfrow]

The glossary file is now up to 228K.  I've started to note which citations
(from recipes mixed in amongst the culinary collections) are for medicines
& perfumes.

Here are some more words for you to mull over:

Rockes =

(A Closet for Ladies and Gentlewomen, 1636) - To make another sort of
Marmelade... then powder the seeds of red Nettles, of Rockes, of each one
dram... [MEDICINE]



Cocks stones =

(A Closet for Ladies and Gentlewomen, 1636) - To make another sort of
Marmelade...Cocks stones halfe an ounce, all steeped in honey twelve
houres... [MEDICINE]

I think this one is a plant.  IIRC, I saw Dogs Stones listed in Gerard.



Coffins of plate =

(A Closet for Ladies and Gentlewomen, 1636) - To make Prince-bisket
bread... then put it into your coffins of plate, or frames of wood...


Cyprus and Calamus =

Powder... Cyprus and Calamus of each halfe an ounce... [INEDIBLE]



Decoction =
Digby (1669) White metheglin of my Lady Hungerford - This Proportion of
Herbs is to make six Gallons of Decoction... take the clear Decoction
(leaving the settlings)...
