22 How to make a string/knitwork (gestrick) of cheese
Take brittle (murben) cheese and white wheat bread and grate that together. And take more cheese than bread. And lay it on a board. And knead it with eggs so that it does not become too thick (stark). And make cylinders (zoel – usually means a log or stump) that are not too large. And cut them not too small. Take a mortar and put fat into it and set it by the fire. And let it get hot and lay the logs into that. And take eggs as much as you wish and sugar and raisins and season it well. And then draw it out no thinner that yarn. And take it off the fire, and watch that it does not grow too cold or it spoils.
