sop
“o' the moonshine—A,”
KING LEAR, ii. 2. 29.
“It is certain that an equivoque is here intended by an
allusion to the old dish of eggs in moonshine,
which was eggs broken and boiled in salad-oil till the yolks became hard. They were eaten
with slices of onions fried in oil [or] butter,
verjuice, nutmeg, and salt”
