| | 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.
