I am in Paris at the moment, oddly enough, flying home tomorrow--so 
don't have access to Pleyn Delite. So far as I know, the only 
commercially published Englilsh translation of Le Menagier only 
excerpts the cooking section and doesn't always tell you when it is 
leaving chunks out, so is not trustworthy--I don't know whether the 
authors of Pleyn Delit (who are generally reliable sorts) used that 
translation or not.

You might want to check against the Janet Hinson translation, webbed 
on my site, and the French original, which I think is webbed 
somewhere.
