Torta Inivre

Italien, 16. Jhd.

Torta Inivre

Make your crust in the way you usually do for pastry; and when it is rolled out, put meal over it so that it can hold up all around, and put it in a pan near the fire to dry out. Then, when you have removed the the meal from the top crust, put in boiled chickens or pigeons cut in morsels, with almond milk, two egg yolks, and a little saffron, ginger, cinnamon, verjuice and rich juice. When it is cooked, take it from the oven and pour over it sugar and rosewater. Aesculapius Romanus praises this dish becasue it is very nourishing, helps the stomach, kidneys and liver, fattens the body and strengthens it, increases fertitlity, and stimulates deadened passions. Thus it is that Archigallus often uses this food.
