Immediately after scraping the salsify for the receipt (recipe) Stewed Salsify immerse it in water.  The root discolors just as soon as the salsify is peeled so it must be scraped quickly and then completely immersed in water.

Salsify-A Taste of Hearth Cooking

This is my 2022 bed of salsify (oyster plant).   In order to use salsify in receipts (recipes) of the past, one must grow it or find a source in the wild.  The greens that you see are edible but it is known for its root (which is a nutrient powerhouse) and when cooked as the flavor of oysters.

Maccaroni-A Taste of Hearth Cooking

The receipt (recipe) Maccaroni (1784) is ready to be served to table.  Having boiled four ounces of macaroni till it be quite tender, lay it on a seive to drain, and then put it in a tossing pan, with about a gill of cream, and a piece of butter rolled in flour.  Boil it 5 minutes, pour it in a plate, lay Parmesan cheese toasted all over it, and as it soon grows cold, serve it up on a water plate.  John Farley

Macaroni-The Water Plate-A Taste of Hearth Cooking

After the macaroni is boiled with the cream, butter and flour for the receipt (recipe) Maccaroni, a water plate needs to be prepared to send it to the table as it soon grows cold.  Pictured is water that has been boiled in the everted saucepan and a wood funnel in the hole of the original pewter water plate.  The hot water keeps the plate warm for service to table.
