Rezept

Language: English

Man mische 7 Pfund Palmin
Mit gleichviel Milch und Terpentin.
Dann füge man ein Hühnerei
Und etwas Öl nebst Eissg bei.
Dies nun zu festem Brei gerührt,
Wird dann in einen Strumpf geschnürt.
Das Ganze läßt man 13 Wochen
In lauem Seifenwasser kochen.

Dann wird es mit Gelee garniert
Und im verdeckten Topf serviert.
(Doch halte man zu rechter Zeit
Ein offnes Töpfchen sich bereit.)

Recipe

Language: English after the English

You mix seven pounds of Palmin
With the same amount of milk and turpentine.
Then add a chicken egg
And some oil in addition to vinegar.
This is now stirred into a mash,
And then tied up in a stocking.
The whole thing rests for 13 weeks
In lukewarm soapy water.

Then it is garnished with jelly
And served in a concealed pot.
(But wait to the right time
When the pot is ready to open by itself.)
