ANST - Medieval Food, clothing, tents and German armor

[Bob Dewart]

Several years back at a King's College, my wife brougth home the most
delightful list of fruits and vegatables and when they were used.  It was on
a print out and was several pages long.  I do not remember the name of the
lady who authored the list nor do I any longer have the list.

I'd like to get another copy of this.  Can anyone help?

Thanks alot

Gilli

Well, you might want to look at some of the files in my Stefan's
Florilegium.

For a bunch of period recipes check these sections:

FEASTS
  Which has lots of useful info for headcooks and others doing SCA feasts
  including period recipes and menus including Gunthar's recent 12th Night
  Feast.
FOOD
  Which includes many period recipes and redactions divided up by various
  food categories. This file, soon to be expanded, might be of particular
  interest to you, Annora:

fd-Germany-msg     (9K)  4/29/98    Medieval and Period German food.
Cookbooks.

FOOD-SWEETS
  Lots of info and recipes for sotelities, candy, cookies and some good info
  on the history of sugar and other sweeteners.

For clothing information check the files in the CLOTHING and the TEXTILE
ARTS
sections. These files in the CLOTHING section might be useful to you:

cl-Germany-msg    (10K)  9/17/98    Clothing of Medieval Germany.
hoops-msg         (23K)  6/27/97    Period and SCA hoopskirts. Hoop sources.
corsets-msg       (66K)  4/13/98    Tudor and Elizabethian corsets. making
them.
Houppelande-art   (42K)  6/22/98    "The Houppelande C. 1355-1450
                                       by Allison Poinvillars de Tours.

For lots of info on tents including tent poles check the files in the
DWELLINGS section. I doubt I should list all 15 or so of the files having
to do with period tents here.

While there is a section on COMBAT, I don't think there is a lot there
specific
to German armor. Of course, if Ditter or someone wants to write me an
article
on German medieval armor, I'd love to consider it for adding to these files.
