thumbnail Gourd a la Catalanne -- CHECK*
Original Source: Platina
Put a gourd, which the Catalans call carabazum, into a pot on the hearth with some Lard after you have cleaned it well. Leave it to boil for four hours and stir it often with a spoon. Then season the sauce with rich juice and saffron, sugar and spices.

There are those who blend in two beaten eggs with verjuice and grated cheese and add these, as we said above.

About the gourd; this is agreeable.
