The cow's udder part is pretty easy, but I think the stuffing would  
be more difficult.

Cow's udder.
For cow's udder which has been well washed and cooked, & put on a  
towel so it can rest well, & put it on a spit.  For the udder's  
sauce , take two or three pieces of toasted white bread, which are  
not burned at all, & take some broth with verjuice to temper the  
bread, & mix with four or five egg yolks, & put therein nutmeg,  
cinnamon, ginger, saffron, & sugar, & let it boil well together, &  
put it on the roasted udder.

I suppose the mice could be skinned, soaked in vinegar to dissolve  
the bones (as was done with small birds) and then fried, but I can't  
find any recipes to verify.
