Sorry, I should have been clearer. Constance Hieatt claims, in Curye on Inglysch, that the edition you have posted contains a transposition error. (See her glossary/index under "sawge".) She gives a fairly long explanation of why she thinks so, which I won't reproduce here, but the short version is that the actual recipe it has attached to the title "sawgeat" seems to be for sawge yfarced, while the recipe for sawge yfarced is entitled "sawgeat". The links appear fine, but the text does appear to pass along a minor error made or perpetuated by (?) Warner? Pegge? I forget who, it's been a long day and I'm spending too much of it coughing... No complaints whatsoever with the quality of the webpage qua webpage.
