Could be. The recipe I had mentioned to Lord Ras is in The Forme of
Cury:

195. 	Hastlets of fruyt. Take fyges iquarterid, raysouns hool, dates and
almaundes hoole, and ryne hem on a spyt and roost hem; and endore hem as
pomme dorryes, and serue hem forth.

I had mentioned to Lord Ras, when he spoke of his plans for the giblets
of the emu he is roasting for Will's Revenge, that he is effectively
producing a subtler subtlety. I know of no recipes for actual hastelets
cooked as above, so I kidded him that he was using meat to simulate a
fruit dish that simulates meat.
