[Bjornsborg] [Fwd: [Ansteorra] Bjornsborg Heros event]

[Adrienne R. Ferrell]

Stefan,

I am glad that you enjoyed the feast.  Ask Mistress Mari for the cheese
recipe and Amerinda for the beef rolls (she did get it from a period source).

Please let no one be concerned that we used mono-filament
fishing line rather than butchers string on the beef rolls.  It
probably should have been a twine for people to remove easier, but we
couldn't find any.  So 100% silk thread was used.

The chicken was one of the most basic chicken recipes you can make.
1) boil the chicken with sage, parsley, a little dill and salt and pepper.
2) remove cooked chicken from stock and de bone it.
3) render down the stock and save to cook the rice in.
4) make the classic white sauce : butter, whole milk, heavy cream, and
eggs, a little chicken stock and a touch of salt and pepper and at the last
moment some fresh chopped basil.

Stefan,   I didn't get this from a period cook book, but it doesn't take a
rocket scientist (borrowed phase from Emirl) to boil a chicken.
I used heavy cream with whole milk because having had far
m fresh milk I know its thicker and creamier, and every cook knows to
thicken a sauce you can use eggs... they didn't have corn starch!

  Sincerely,
Seraphina

This was a very nice event, although by next time maybe there will
be fewer rocks. :-)

The feast was excellant with several delicious items. The only
problem I was aware of, was the long lag time in serving some
parts of the feast, which may be understandable due to the
primative facilities for the feast.

There were three dishes I was very impressed with and would love
to have the recipes for, and any documentation showing these
were period. Even if they aren't period, I still would like the
recipes. :-) These were:

1) the wonderful cheese/olive spread.

2) The chicken in white sauce.

3) The rolled meat recipe. This was probably the best rolled
meat dish that I've ever had, although the use of mono-filament
fishing line rather than butchers string to tie the meat rolls
was distracting as a modern intrusion and could cause problems.
I assume this was a last minute, emergency substitution.

Vivat to the headcook and the feast crew!
