To every pint of walnut liquor put one pound of anchovies; boil them
till quite dissolved, and strain off the liquor. To a quart of the
liquor put one pint of vinegar, a quarter of an ounce of a mixture of
cloves, mace, allspice, and long pepper, and a dozen shalots. Boil again
till they are very tender; strain off the liquor, and bottle it for use.
This is an excellent sauce.

Boil a bit of horseradish and anchovy in gravy with a little lemon-peel
and mace; add some cream; thicken it with flour and butter. If you have

and lemon-peel; add a little anchovy, either before or after it has been

ounce of cloves, six or eight races of ginger, a good piece of
horseradish, a spoonful of cayenne pepper, half the peel of a lemon, a
bunch of winter savory and thyme, and three or four onions, a piece of
