''Coqz heaumez. Mettez cochons rostir, et poulaille comme coqz et vielles poulles, et quant le cochon sera rosty d’une part et la poulaille d’autre convient farsir la poullaille – sans escorcher, qui veult; et la convient farsir de paste batue aux oeuf; et quant ell’est doree la convient mettre a chevauchons sur le cochon, et fault ung heaume de papier collé et une lance fichié a la poittrine de la dicte poullaille, et les fault couvrir de fueil d’or ou d’argent pour les seigneurs, ou de feul d’estain blanc, vermeil ou vert.'' (''The Viandier of Taillevent'', ed. Terence Scully (University of Ottawa Press, 1998), 250)
