[Sca-cooks] Waffres

[Craig Jones.]

Harleian MS. 279:

.xxiiij. Waffres. Take þe Wombe of A luce, & seþe here wyl, & do it on
a morter, & tender cheese þer-to, grynde hem
y-fere; þan take flowre an whyte of Eyroun & bete to-gedere, þen take
Sugre an pouder of Gyngere, & do al to-gerderys, &
loke þat þin Eyroun ben hote, & ley þer-on of þin paste, & þan make
þin waffrys, & serue yn.

Ok,  I'm planning to redact this recipe over the next few days.  My
guess is that "Take þe Wombe of A luce" is referring to the Womb of a
fish, which I'm guessing is Isinglass.  It would make sense for a
wafer recipe to include a gelling agent I guess.  Any opinions folks?
