The Badger is one of the cleanest Creatures, in its Food, of any in the
World, and one may suppose that the Flesh of this Creature is not
unwholesome. It eats like the finest Pork, and is much sweeter than Pork.
Then, just when a Badger is killed, cut off the Gammons, and strip them;
then lay them in a Brine of Salt and Water, that will bear an Egg, for a
Week or ten Days; then boil it for four or five Hours, and then roast it,
strewing it with Flour and rasped Bread sifted. Then put it upon a Spit, as
you did before with the _Westphalia_ Ham. Serve it hot with a Garnish of
Bacon fry'd in Cutlets, and some Lemon in slices.
