Daub : English, daiibe French, culinary term for stew ; thus, gigol h la daiwe=\c^ of mutton stewed. The French word dauber has no culinary application. [In Francatelli, 570, and other places to daube (with the final e) is irsed as equivalent to larding, or, as this writer also has it, interlarding (a confusion with a literary tropic). The English expression is to daub, without the final e. Thus we have (Simpson, p. 337) daubed foivls, which are braised, and not larded; and (ibid., p. 338) we have Foivl a la Daube, larded, which is to be finishetl like Fowl a la Daube (p. 29), which is not larded. Simpson (p. 76) has Rump of Beef a la Daube, the recipe for which begins thus: ‘Trim a rump of beef, take the bone out, daub it (i.e., the rump, not the bone), and put it into a marinade.’ Plere to daub must mean to lard it. See also id. ibid., p. no, where rump of veal is to be daubed the same as rump of beef. Daubing must be a particular kind of larding, with thick lardooins, for Simpson descrilies onl}' beef and veal as daubed, fowls, etc., always as larded. (See also loc. cit., p. 112.) Dinde en Daube (Beauvilliers, i. 348) is larded with aromatized lardoons. Daubiere : French, a vessel in which joints or birds are to be daubed or .stewed. Dress, to: to bring a matter into good form, to clean, trim, etc. Dressed vegetables are samples of the irarticular forni implied. Dunelm: a kind of dish of mutton, or other meat, possibly local to Durham (Dunelmemsis .=). Dunelm of veal: vide ‘Eaton’s Dic- tionary.’ DICTIONARY OF CULINARY TERMS 671 Duxelles : name of a French marquis wlio lived at the end of the seventeenth century, and whose ccuyer de cuisine was De la Yaren ne, author of an excellent cookery-book (1699).
