I don't have a copy of Master Geoffrey's recipe. Hey, I was just his  
apprentice for years... ;-). But it looks as if one possibility might  
be that this was cut down in quantity from a larger, feast-sized  
recipe. Even 49 turnips seems like an odd number, but maybe that's  
just how many they used at one point, and perhaps everything is cut  
down by a factor of eight.
