Here is the Rumpolt version.
Caperdatten to make with its accompaniments.
1. Roasted pheasant.
2. Roasted partridge.
3. Roasted goose.
4. Roasted capon.
5. Roasted young chicken.
6. Roasted thrush.
7. Toasted bread.
8. Gilded bread (french toast). That all is warm.
10. Roasted pieces??
Take a boiled hen's liver/ and hard boiled egg yolks/ crush together
with parmesan cheese/ and take a little garlic with it/ strain it
with beef broth/ that is lightly salted/ make it yellow/ set on
coals/ and let simmer. Then carve the large poultry/ and dismember
them/ however leave the middle (sized) poultry whole. Also take to
it a pork carbonado/ or a pork roast/ slice it there under/ roast
pork and liver sausages to it/ put toasted bread in the broth/ that
you have strained with garlic/ make yellow with saffron/ take them
out with a spoon/
lay them in the dish next to each other/ sprinkle them with parmesan
cheese/ lay the birds/ that you have carved/ on the slices/ and the
whole birds beween/ with the roasted pork meat and sausages/ lay more
toasted slices over it/ and sprinkle them with parmesan cheese/ lay
more birds over it/ sausages and meat between/ again lay toasted
slices over it/ sprinkle with parmesan cheese/ and over the toasted
slices/ lay gilded slices (french toast)/ that are fried with eggs/
and are nicely warm/ and over the gilded slices again sprinkle
parmesan cheese.
Take the broth/ that you have made with garlic/ pour over the toasted
slices and birds/ what is in it/ set it there with on coals/ and
often pour over it the hot broth with garlic/ so the birds will be
nicely warm/ and when you will give it on a table/ then sprinkle it
well with parmesan cheese. Take hot bacon/ that is cut into fine
cubes/ and is well hot/ pour it over the dish/ so the cheese melts
together/ quickly cover with another dish/ and let it be carried thus
warm on a table/ like this it is a lordly good dish/ and one finds
good little pieces?? in it/ where it is happily eaten with garlic and
parmesan cheese.
You can also take under it fried (sunny side up) eggs/ that one calls
Ox eyes/ and one such dish one can prepare on three or four tables/
and it takes a cook two days to prepare it. Because he has to do/
that the birds are plucked and cleaned/ and the slices from weck
bread toasted/ and the other things he has to prepare/ that all
things are made ready for the meal. And it must be a good fast cook/
that dresses such food on four tables.
If you will have it in another manner/ then make a broth prepared
with garlic and beef broth/ with egg yolks well thick strained/
cooked with meat/ pour quickly over the slices/ like this it is
delicate and well tasting. And such a dish one calls caperdatten.
---------
Also Hecht 26.
26. A Caperdatti made from fried pike/ and from various fried fish/
be they small or large/ also fried ox eyes (fried sunny side up
eggs)/ from eggs which the yolks/ are cooked hard/ laid between/
crush with garlic/ strain through (a sieve) with a pea broth/ mix
with pepper and saffron/ and look/ that you do not over salt. And
when you have prepared the Caperdatti in a dish with fried fish and
golden slices (french toast) and toasted slices/ also sprinkled with
parmesan cheese/ let stay on coals with the dish/ or with the silver
(dish?). And when you will give out on a table/ then grease it well
with hot butter/ and cover/ that it comes warm on the table. Thus
one cooks Caperdatti from fish.
