Carp Sauce Recipe
One pint of Lisbon wine, with a small quantity of mace, cloves, and
cinnamon, three anchovies, a bit of bay-leaf, a little horseradish not
scraped, and a slice or two of onion; let the whole boil about a quarter
of an hour, and, when cold, mix as much flour with the sauce as will
make it of a proper thickness. Set it over the stove; keep it stirred
till it boils. Just before you serve up, put in a quarter of a pint of
cream, more or less according to the thickness of your sauce.
Boil the carp in as much water as will cover them, with some wine, a
little vinegar, and slices of lemon and onion.
