Ingredients
Veal, diced
bread (stale is best)

onions, diced
garlic, diced
oregano
pepper

salt
marjoram
parsley
sausage casings 

Directions 
In a bowl mix the veal and spices.
Next, grind the veal and spice mixture into a coarse mix.
Then, grate the bread into fine crumbs then mix it with the meat.
Add eggs to bind. Add diced onion and fold in well.
Add olive oil as needed. Stir vigorously until well-mixed.
Next carefully stuff the sausage cases with the meat mixture.
When you are done, you may smoke them for future use or roast them over a fire.
Before roasting, soak them in beer or barley water for flavor.

Original recipe from Platina:
Exicium Ex Pulpa. Take the meat from a haunch of veal and cut it up finely with the soft fat or lard. Grind marjoram and parsley together. Beat the yolks of eggs together with grated cheese. Sprinkle with spices and work this into one mass and mix it all up with the meat. The cut pieces of sausage casing from pork or veal and roll up the meat mixture inside them in lumps the size of an egg. Cook them on a spit at the hearth over a slow fire; the common folk call this exicium; indeed when they are a little underdone they are more flavorful than when cooked too much. Consequently, they are slow to be digested and cause obstructions and stones. Nevertheless, this helps the heart and liver.
