Ashmole MS. 1439. Sauces. Le Viandier de Taillevent. 155. Cameline: To Make Cameline Sauce. Grind ginger, a great deal of cinnamon, cloves, grains of paradise, mace, and if you wish, long pepper; strain bread that has been moistened in vinegar, strain everything together and salt as necessary. Frati, Ludovico, editor, Libro di cucina del secolo XI 48. Excellent cameline sauce. To make an excellent cameline sauce, take skinned almonds and pound and strain them; take raisins, cinnamon, cloves, and a little crumb of bread and pound everything together, and moisten with verjuice; and it is done. Le Menagier de Paris 230. Cameline. Note that at Tournai, to make cameline they pound ginger, cinnamon, saffron, and half a nuteg, moistened with wine then removed from the mortar; then take crumb of white bread, without grilling it, soaked in cold water and pounded in the mortar, moisten with wine and strain; then boil everything, and finish with brown sugar: this is a winter cameline. In summer, they do the same, but it is not boiled at all.
