[Sca-cooks] Does anyone have an idea about this??

 	 	Subject: What on earth is "canada?"
 	 
Besides "America's neighbor to the north," I mean.

I was recently given a copy of Recipes from Locust Grove, which is a 
collection including recipes compiled by Elizabeth Breese Morse, the mother 
of Samuel F.B. Morse.  It was compiled prior to 1805, most likely during the 
last quarter of the 18th century, by a woman living in New York.

One of her receipts is for "Canada" and starts out with "Pound your Canada 
fine..."

You make a sort of custard by pouring boiling milk and 13 egg yolks with 
loaf sugar on it, then add 3/4 lb. butter with rosewater, wine, and nutmeg.

But "Canada" is beyond me.  I don't have access to the original, so for all 
I know it's a misreading - but does anybody have any better ideas?
