1683, which *seems* to be mostly the same):

To make any Quelquechose

To make a Quelquechose, which is a mixture of many things together; take
the Eggs and break them, and do away one half of the Whites, and after
they are beaten, put them to a good quantity of sweet Cream, Currants,
Cinnamon, Cloves, Mace, Salt, and a little Ginger, Spinage, Endive, and
Mary-gold flowers grosly chopt, and beat them all very well together;
then take Pigs Petitoes slic'd and grosly chopt, mixt them with the
Eggs, and with your hand stir them exceeding well together; then put in
sweet Butter in your Frying-pan, and being melted, put in all the rest,
and fry it brown without burning, ever and anon turning it, till it be
Fryed enough; then dish it upon a flat plate, and so serve it forth.
Onely here is to be observed, that your Pettitoes must be very well
boyled before you put them into the Fry-case.

Additions to the House-wife

And in this manner as you make this Quelquechose, so you may make any
other, whether it be of flesh, small Birds, sweet Roots, Oysters,
Muscles, Cockles, Giblets, Lemmons, Oranges, or any Fruit, Pulse, or
other Sallet herb whatsoever; of which to speak severally, were a Labour
infinite, because they vary with mens opinion.  Onely the composition
and work is no other than this before prescribed: and who can do these
need no further instruction for the rest.  And thus much for Sallets and
Fricases.
