Neck of Mutton, etc. Written by Myretta (8/26/2011 7:41 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Questions, thoughts, penned by Stephanie

I imagine that Neck of Mutton is not a particularly good piece of meat as there is a lot of connective tissue and it probably requires a good deal of slow cooking to make it tender.

I think (although I don't have a reference for this that) "ye" is "the" in "ye 20th" etc.

Mr. James Tilson, by the way, was Henry Austen's partner in the Austen, Maunde & Tilson Bank.

I would think that, then as now, the desired ripeness of the gooseberries would depend upon their use. For example,in The Experienced English Housekeeper by Mrs. Raffald (1776), she has two Gooseberry recipes: One for pate requiring ripe gooseberries and one for bottling, calling for green.
