[Sca-cooks] Substitutions... how do we know?

[David Walddon]

So I am interested in people's interpretation on the end of line 4.

4. Put this to boil for a little with the said chicken, and mix well  
with a wooden spoon, and put mixed spices above.

Specifically "and put mixed spices above".

I interpret this, without going back to the original source, as to  
"strew" mixed spices "on top" of the dish (above).

Do others think it is put the mixed spices from the previous steps on  
the chicken dish?

Also something very interesting about the recipe "unpeeled" almonds  
(not blanched).

I think context is huge in this really fun game and a copy of the  
original is really necessary to make an educated guess.
