GODE COOKERY TRANSLATION:
Stewed Gourds. Take young gourds; pare them and cut them in pieces. Put in good broth, and add a large amount of minced onions. Take boiled pork; grind it and add it along with egg yolks. Add saffron and salt, and serve it with powder douce.
I hope this recipe will be fun. It is rather simple, but I thought it could be a clever addition to the Thanksgiving meal.
Start thinking about December's recipe/ or January since some might want to take December off, and you are always welcome to try a recipe in your repertoire and post your redactions on the list.

there is a fairly similar recipe in de nola, actually, which we did last june with zucchini. it was delicious. i think it also included cheese, and maybe no onions (or fewer onions).
That would be an interesting dish.
The simplicity of the recipe suggests to me that it is a fairly common dish so that is not surprising that other incarnations would be found all over.
I liked the idea on Gode Cookery to make the dish vegetarian friendly by substituting nuts for the pork. I think I may try something along those lines for my version of this dish.
The nuts could also help to add some binding, which would be nice for people who needed to avoid eggs. Neat!
