Medieval Cookery Column


My previous post was about fish and fishing and by coincidence I came across a collection of posts about medieval cookery from Medieval Histories which may appeal to readers. Drawn from across Europe there are several about great feasts, and about Christmas fare - including several ways to cook your own goose (sic) - not to mention mulled wine, Irish ‘bog butter’, and boiled Sturgeon. I will reassure Scottish readers this is not an intended assault on the person of the First Minister.

The posts, with recipes, can be found at Medieval Food Archives — Medieval Histories

I will add that during ‘lockdown’ I have discovered the pleasures of watching various YouTube programmes about medieval, as well as ancient and more recent recipes. I will post about those in coming days.
