 "medieval cooks couldn't whip cream" >>

I've been reading several posts over the last few moths about the inability
of period folks whipping this or that. IMHO, this just ain't so. Assuming
that the strainer method was used, it would be well to remember that modern
strainers are infinitely more coarse than the horse hair strainers used by
medieval cooks. 

Sometimes at various folk festivals and Amish shops these hair strainers can
still be found. If you come across one, get it! They are extremely fine
hatched and when used as described by Master Adamantius produce a very
exceptable 'whipped' product.

Sorry for the rant.......:-0
