I always try to use simple roast chicken with a period sauce or choice of sauces, and I try to present a modern-seeming salad with herbs and sauces as amendments one can choose.<br /> There are other approaches, but I can't think of a solution."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377941358398702757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417930518892044476.post-2451743195712906532013-04-20T20:38:16.874-07:002013-04-20T20:38:16.874-07:00In historic cookery, this could be blurred... that...In historic cookery, this could be blurred... that is, it's purpose where a potato pie can be very sweet and "fruity" or pears cooked more like a vegetable, though some baking pears are not overly sweet.

"Fruits" in the popular sense, are almost always obviously sweet (the avocado is the only exception that comes to mind); "Vegetables" such as tomatoes are not.Cathy Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580681386443534011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417930518892044476.post-85339983579107191052012-01-25T13:08:00.440-08:002012-01-25T13:08:00.440-08:00recipe is now added to the original post :)recipe is now added to the original post :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377941358398702757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417930518892044476.post-69920038385211973352012-01-25T00:21:15.051-08:002012-01-25T00:21:15.051-08:00Hi, Can you share the recipe please.

It makes good sense; when we're familiar with a dish and have cooked it any number of times, yet suddenly find ourselves asked to write it down, it seems like good policy to leave things flexible. Certainly you wouldn't want to be pinned down to just using the listed spices if you found some new combination that you liked better.Myrrhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855611667912279960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417930518892044476.post-87186821189243489192010-05-22T08:50:29.540-07:002010-05-22T08:50:29.540-07:00It did not dawn on me to quote sources for this, h...It did not dawn on me to quote sources for this, however I was rambling more than anything. Some of the sources do include Langland... Chaucer, Guild, City and household records (many complete with costs)... also stuff written by Carlin (who most books end up quoting for info on medieval "fast food") who quotes, I think Langland, as well John de Garland and the poem "London Lickpenny"- Lydgate... and think William Fitz Stephen<br />I lost some of the info of women running cook-shops but there were recorded instances within the medieval/renaissance period... in France and elsewhere (but I can not remember *sigh*)<br />I would love to find some more leads to cook-houses in Europe in the medieval/renaissance period, esp. stuff not already covered by Carlin<br /><br />What I did fail to add, was some of the stuff relating to ready-made food as seen in paintings... such as rice porridge (having guild records also help here with identification) and pretzels. I do not know entirely their relation to cook-shops however so did not elaborate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377941358398702757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417930518892044476.post-69379234494090217122010-04-05T10:43:50.924-07:002010-04-05T10:43:50.924-07:00Thank you for your transcriptions of historic reci...Thank you for your transcriptions of historic recipes! I saw many items here that I had not encountered elsewhere.<br /><br />In the "receipt" Cure for Bed Wetting<br />"Boil a mouse in urine and pound wythe chopped acorn and see coal (coral?) and feed to the child on empty gutt," you seem to question the term "sea coal."
