_To fry Artichocks._

Boil and sever all from the bottoms, then slice them in the midst,
quarter them, dip them in batter, and fry them in butter. For the
sauce take verjuyce, butter, and sugar, with the juyce of an orange,
lay marrow on them, garnish them with oranges, and serve them up.

_To fry young Artichocks otherways._

Take young artichocks or suckets, pare off all the outside as you
pare an apple, and boil them tender, then take them up, and split
them through the midst, do not take out the core, but lay the split
side downward on a dry cloth to drain out the water; then mix a
little flour with two or three yolks of eggs, beaten ginger, nutmeg
& verjuyce, make it into batter and roul them well in it, then get
some clarified butter, make it hot and fry them in it till they be
brown. Make sauce with yolks of eggs, verjuyce or white-wine,
cinamon, ginger, sugar, and a good piece of butter, keep it stirring
upon the fire till it be thick, then dish them on white-bread
toasts, put the caudle on them, and serve them up.
