Cook your poultry in water, then set it to cool; grind ginger,
cassia buds (var.: cinnamon), grains of paradise and cloves,
and do not strain them; then grind bread, parsley and sage,
with, if you wish, a little saffron in this greenery to make
it a bright green, and sieve this; and some people add strained,
hard-cooked egg yolks steeped in vinegar ; do not boil. Break
your poultry apart into halves, quarters or members, set it out
on plates with the sauce over and hard-cooked eggs whites on top.
If you used hard eggs, cut them up with a knife rather than breaking
them by hand.
1 whole chicken
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cassia buds or cinnamon (I used both)
1/2 tsp grains of paradise
1/2 tsp cloves
1 C bread - grind
1/2 C parsley
2 tsp sage
pinch saffron
2 egg - hard boiled yolks
1 C vinegar
2 egg - hard boiled whites on top of chicken

together. In seperate bowl, mix bread, parsley sage and saffron.
Boil 2 eggs, seperate eggs, yolk from white, and steep yolks in

of chicken. Then crumble egg whites and put over the sauce which has
been put over the chicken.
