Take the Preparation of the Scum and Dregs of the Sugar-Canes. Let them
ferment, and distil them with the Leaves of the _Platanus_, or Plain-Tree;
then put them into a Still again, and hang some Amber powder'd, in a Muslin
Bag, in the Cap of the Still, and let all the Steam pass through that, and
it will be incomparable good Rum.

A boiled _Goose_ with its Garniture. From the same.
Take a young fat Goose, and salt it, and pepper it, for four Days or a
Week; then boil it as you would do other Victuals, till it is tender; then
take it from the Pot, and put about it some _Hertfordshire_ Turnips boiled,
being first cut in dice, some Carrots boiled, and cut in dice, some small
Cabbage-Sprouts, some red Beet-Roots cut in dice, some _French_ yellow
Turnips cut in dice, or such other Roots, or Herbs, as you like best.
Collyflowers, if they are in season, will do well; but they must all be
toss'd up with Cream and Butter, except the _Hertfordshire_ Turnips, which
should, after they are boiled, be dry'd in a Cloth, and well flour'd; then
fry them in hot Lard, or hot Butter, drain them well, and serve them with
the same Sauce.
_Memorandum_, If you have any of the yellow _French_ Turnips, cut them in
dice to boil, and when they are enough, treat them in the same manner as
you are directed, for the _Hertfordshire_ Turnips.
