Somewhere I have my research photocopies of Pichon & Vicaire, and
could type in the French original. Just not immediately.
My translation reads:
222. *Spice* Powder.
Grind ginger (4 parts), cassia (3 1/2 parts), nutmeg (2 parts),
pepper (1 1/2 parts), long pepper, cloves, grains of paradise and
galingale (1 part each). (A recipe quoted by Pichon et al., p. 26.)
A citation for the translation would read:
Tirel, Guillume. <i>Le Viandier de Taillevent:</i> c. 1395. Trans.
James Prescott. 2nd ed. Eugene: Alfarhaugr Publishing Society, 1989.
I hope this helps. If you need the French original typed in, including
whatever Pichon & Vicaire say about where it came from, let me know.
