The receipt (recipe) for To Boyle a Rabbet with Claret Wine states after the rabbit has been transferred from the brass cooking vessel to an earthenware pipkin, to throw them (the other ingredients) all in a Pipkin. These ingredients are a pinte of Claret wine, slice Onyons and a Carrot-root, a few Currins, and a Fagot of Herbes, minst Parsley, Barberries pickt, large Mace, Nutmeg and Ginger. The faggot of herbs is tied with the linen twice seen in the picture.
