Dish of Chicken or Whatever Meat You Please
If it is tender, take the flesh of the breast of the hen or partridge or the flesh of the thighs and pound very vigorously, and remove the tendons and pound with the meat almonds, walnuts and pine nuts until completely mixed. Throw in pepper, caraway, cinnamon, spikenard, in the required quantity, and a little honey and eggs; beat all together until it becomes one substance. Then make with this what looks like the 'usba made of lamb innards, and put it in a lamb skin or sheep skin and put it on a heated skewer and cook slowly over a fire of hot coals until it is browned, then remove it and eat it, if you wish with murri and if you wish with mustard, God willing.

Take a piece of veal, from the shoulder or the leg, and if it were from the shoulder, remove those nerves, and chop the veal very well with a good piece of bacon, and chop it all together, and take your sheep intestines and wash them very well with your water and salt, and season the meat very well with pepper, ginger and nutmeg, and little clove, because it is bitter, and a little fennel, breaking it, and first clean it, and cast it into this same meat, and stuff it inside the intestines, and tie them like salchicas, and then roast them and garnish them with small boneless loins of mutton upon a sop, or however the official desires.
