Great site. I used it a couple of years ago when a middle school teacher was doing a medieval fair. She made a couple of the recipes, too.

That's a great site. I'm starting a Renaissance research project with my world history class. I'll put a link to it on my web page so the kids can find it. Thanks!

Sorry, no, not the specific recipes. One was a venison stew, spiced with some cloves, I think, which she served in bread bowls the kids made to mimic the trenchers (thick slices of bread used in place of plates).She also served a dish of mashed, buttered rutabagas and some sort of spice cake for dessert. The teacher is a Family and Consumer Ed. teacher (formerly Home Ec. in our state), and did it little by little over a period of about a month. Can't get a whole lot done in a 42 minute class period wiht middle schoolers!

Thank you Mezzaluna for the inspiration.

Sounds delicious. Think I'm going to plan something (a menu that is) either for summer or early fall.

My sophomores made good use of that site. They liked the idea of writing about food in their papers. Thanks again!

Now this is really some site! Amazing what was on the menu in the Middle Ages. I'm adding it to my favorites list, so I can go through it when I have more time. Thanks!
