    This recipe looks like its "1 serving" could feed a large super
    bowl crowd

    Title: Chez Melange Dipping Sauce
    Yield: 1 servings

    I'm guessing that 1 serving is the same as 1 batch, as far as they
    were thinking

    What is happening there is that in early versions of Meal-Master
    the yield number defaulted to 1 serving and one had to manually
    change it to suit. Later versions defaulted to 4 servings which is a
    much more common recipe size but again one can edit the field. One
    can also edit the units name from servings to cups or pints etc. as appropriate.

    2 c pilsner beer
    2 c water

    2 md leeks
    3 TB cornstarch
    3/4 c cream
    11 oz aged Gouda

    Put wine (or beer) with the water in a pot and boil. Let the stock
    cubes dissolve. Chop or cut the sauerkraut, thinly slice the

    Cut, grate or chop the cheese into smallest pieces. Pour the soup

    I figured something of the sort was happening...

    Later versions defaulted to 4 servings which is a much more common

    That is more sensible... :)

    Hello, NANCY!

    To err is human. To really foul things up requires a computer.

    Title: Wildfowl Stock
    Categories: Game, Ceideburg, Soups
    Yield: 3 Quarts

    3 qt Cold water
    5 lb Game bird carcass, wings,
    -legs, neck, other spare
    -parts
    2 Or 3 stalks wild celery,
    -cut in chunks
    1/2 c Wild onions, chopped
    1/2 c Wild carrots, chopped
    1 sm Bunch watercress

    Place cold water in a soup pot. Place game bird pieces in cold
    water. Soak for 1 hour. Add other ingredients. Do not stir. Soak
    for 1 hour. Place pot, uncovered, at the back of a cook stove far
    from the fire. On a conventional stove, place the pot on an asbestos
    pad over very low heat.

    Allow pot and it's contents to warm very slowly. You need to draw as
    much as possible out of the ingredients and into the stock. Skim off
    scum as it rises. When the pot is uniformly warm, move it closer to
    the fire (or increase the heat) and very slowly and carefully bring
    the liquid to a simmer. Do not boil. Do not rush. Skim off all the
    scum immediately, as it rises within the first 30 minutes of
    simmering. After 30 minutes and after skimming, use a clean piece of
    cheesecloth to wipe the pot at the level of the liquid.

    Simmer very gently, uncovered, for at least 3 hours.

    Taking great care not to disturb the ingredients, carefully ladle the
    liquid through clean, moistened cheesecloth into a large screw-lid
    jar. Do not pour the stock. Leave the unstrained stock uncovered
    until cool. Cover cooled stock tightly and store in refrigerator. Do
    not remove grease at this time.

    Skim grease from stock. Reheat for use, or freeze.

    This is from the cookbook on wild foods. I've copied as it's written
    because I found the style of writing and ingredients interesting. If
    you try to use wild ingredients, be careful. I seem to remember that
    both wild onions and wild carrots have close relatives that look much
    the same but are toxic. Personally, I'd do my stalking at the
    supermarket.
