Hello!  All of you with my book, "Take a Thousand Eggs", please get out
your #2 pencils & make the following correction to the 2nd edition Vol. 1
page 244.

Ashmole Ms 1439, recipe 18 for Black sauce for capouns y-rostyde reads
"take anyse, and grynde parysgingere, and canel..."

I've just noticed the same recipe in Forme of Cury, but it reads "take
anyse and greynes de Parys. gyng~. canel..."

So where I translated parysgingere as Paris ginger, please cross out
"Paris" & write in "grains of paradise [comma] ".

I'd try adding ground grains by the 1/8th teaspoonful until it's seasoned
to your liking.

Mea culpa,

Cindy
