Brewer's: Galimaufrey

or Gallimaufrey (g hard). A medley; any confused jumble of things; but strictly speaking, a hotch-potch made up of all the scraps of the larder. (French, galimafrée; Spanish, gallofa, “broken meat,” gallofero, a beggar.)

He woos both high and low, both rich and poor, Both young and old, one with another, Ford; He loves thy gaily-mawfry [all sorts].
