[Sca-cooks] Beaver meat recipes

[Johnna Holloway]

They are mentioned as fish day delicacies.
One of those items that could be eaten in lent.
A quick search indicates there's a recipe for beaver tail in the  
Kuchenmeysterey.
We didn't index any recipes for beaver in the Concordance, so there  
might not be any recipes in English.
There's a mention "astoreum: reddish glands found in the groin of the  
beaver and widely used in medieval medicine..." so the information may  
be in the medical texts.
I'll try and search EEBO tomorrow.
