If it's the same one I've seen, it's from one of the end-of-period
English cookbooks and is titled something like "A tart to give
courage to a man or a woman". In addition to a "potaton" it includes
the brains of a cock-sparrow, I forget what all else. I can probably
hunt it up for you, but I think it has been posted here before--maybe
Stefan has it in the Florilegium?
