Mistress Meadhbh rebutted:  I must disagree!  I have successfully cooked
foods from the 'middle ages' and had people enjoy them very much!  Yes,
the seasonings are different but if one picks a good mix and doesn't pick
too many similar dishes the meal can be quite delightful!

To which I reply:
Of course YOU can make middle ages food taste like the food served on
Mt Olympus. (Grin).  All it takes is your years of experience and that
fabulous library you have.  To be frank (in my case Erik), I stick to
Renaissance because it is in that time period most of my recipes are
from.  AND are more pleasing to my palate.  I know what a contradiction
a German with a discerning palate. 

On a more serious note I have a question:  I am looking for a period
recipe for Ox tongue.  Mine is modern (17c+).  HELP.
