Recipes from the Wagstaff Miscellany - 128 Darrolete

Recipes from the Wagstaff Miscellany (Beinecke MS 163)

This manuscript is dated about 1460.

The 200 (approx.) recipes in the Wagstaff miscellany are on pages 56r through 76v.

Images of the original manuscript are freely available on the Yale University Library website.

I have done my best to provide an accurate, but readable transcription. Common abbreviations have been expanded, the letters thorn and yogh have been replaced with their modern equivalents, and some minor punctuation has been added.

This recipe is a match for recipe 68 from A Noble Boke off Cookry.

To mak dariolites tak mynced fisshe and almond mylk mad with wyne and mynced bred sanders saffron raissins of corans hony and pouder and mele all to gedur so that it be thik and put it in the coffyn and bak it in the manner of flawnes and serue it.  [A Noble Boke off Cookry (England, 1468)]

There are numerous recipes in other sources for Dariols, but the Wagstaff and Noble versions are the only ones I've found that include minced fish.
