"Vions" is supposed to be verjuice (verious).


Here's the version of that recipe from Forme of Curye in "Curye on
Inglish" - not many differences, but enough to cause a little
confusion, eh?

18  Mounchelet.  Take Veel o(th)er motoun and smyte it to gobettes
see(th) it in gode broth; Cast (th)erto erbes yhewe gode won, and a
quantite of oynouns mynced, powdour fort and safroun, and alye it with
ayren and verious: but lat not see(th) after.


What edition of "Forme of Curye" are you using?  It'd be interesting to
compare other recipes and see what else is different.
