Well, if I may ask, what about it? It gives us some idea about what
foods were eaten, but for the most part, it doesn't really demonstrate
how. Period recipes, BTW, being artifacts, are part of the body of
archaeological evidence. Unfortunately there seems to be comparatively
little in the surviving body of bardic/druidic unwritten "literature"
that says much about how all those hazelnuts, trout, salmon and leeks,
etc., were eaten.

Ever read "Motel of the Mysteries", by any chance?
