#30 Mix and cook under ashes and coals almost all those things we described
for gourds with rape and pears or quinces, well cooked and ground up.
Glaucus will devour this because he is tortured by dysuria and complains
that passion is deadened in him.
#29 Gourd Pie: Grind well-washed gourds as you are accustomed to do for
cheese, then boil a little either in rich juice or in milk. When they have
been half cooked and passed through a sieve into a bowl, mix, adding as muc=
h
cheese as I described before, half a pound of sowbelly or very fat udder,
boiled and pounded with a knife, or, in place of these, if it pleases you,
add the same amount of butter or fat, half a pound of sugar, a little ginge=
r
some cinnamon, six eggs, a cup of milk, and a little saffron. Cook this in
on oiled earthenware pot with an undercrust, under or over a slow fire. Som=
e
add pieces of pastry leaves which they call crepes in places of an upper
crust. When it is cooked and transfer into a dish, sprinkle with sugar and
rose water. Let Cassius not eat this because he suffers from colic and
stone. It is likewise difficult to digest and nourishes badly.

Cinnamon Tart
The Cookbook of Sabina Welserin
Translated by Valoise Armstrong
Take a half pound of ground almonds, more or less, according to how large a
tart one will make. Take butter and the whites from seven eggs. Mix
everything together, afterwards put a half ounce of cinnamon into it, the
largest part, however, sprinkled on top, and sprinkle the tart with rose
water. Also take about a half pound of sugar and put it in. The white fat
from a leg of veal, cooked and finely chopped, is also especially good.
