Translation
A Stew of Intestines
Take the entrails of deer, or of any other animal. Parboil then and cut into dice. Take the coking broth or better. Take bread and grind it with the broth then mix with a good quantity of vinegar and wine. Take onions and parboil them then mince them finely and combine withe other ingredients. Colour it with blood and season with powder fort and salt. Boil it well and serve it forth.
Modern Redaction
Method:
Bring a pan of lightly-salted water to a boil and add the intestines. Cook for about 40 minutes, or until just tender then drain and cut into dice.
In a mortar, mix together the broth and bread until smooth. Place the meat in a pan with the thickened broth then add the wine, vinegar and the minced onion. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, or until the deer intestines are completely tender.
Mix the blood, powder fort and salt in a mortar. Add a ladleful of the stock and mix to combine. Whisk the blood mixture into the stew and simmer gently until thickened and coloured (do not boil). Turn into a bowl and serve.
