Hope there looks like something good for everyone on here. As usual, some changes may occur based on the finickiness of the fire or other unforseen cooking excitement.
Saturday Oct 23 midday meal
Meatballs wrapped in sage-
precooked and ground meat shaped into spiced rounds wrapped in sage leaves and fried
Rice pudding-(Either for midday or evening or both depending on how the fire is cooking that day)
Rice boiled with almond milk, spices, and honey
Fried eggs in onion sauce –
Scrambled eggs covered in fried onion rings boiled in vinegar and wine
Carrots with honey and ginger –
A good old favorite standby
Saturday evening meal
Bacon? or some such easy meat product
Turnips with Chestnut and sage ( Pre-cooked with the midday meal)
If fresh chestnuts are not to be found, this will become armoured turnips
Halved Apples- (using extra eggs from the midday meal)
Apples filled with scrambled and spiced eggs, put back together, then dipped in a thin batter and fried.
Medieval Gingerbread- (Pre-made and brought that day)
Not what you think of as Victorian or later gingerbread . More of a molded honey/ginger candy type dessert
Sunday Oct 24
Chicken dumplings-
Shredded cooked chicken breast inside of a dumpling pastry, boiled in broth
Battered mushrooms-
Mushroom caps dipped in batter and fried in a pan
Salad of parsnips-
Sliced parsnips parboiled and fried in oil with spices and lettuce
Stewed cabbage-
Cabbage stewed in broth with onions, leeks and spices.
Fritters?-
We’ll see what’s left in the pantry and the how the cooking goes that day. But you all know how I love to make fritters and I have a version I'd love to try out.
