The Heritage Trust came out with a little booklet called something like
"Prehistoric British Cooking." Documentation is a little sketchy but they
talk about seaweed pudding and frumenty. It's at home but I can bring it
in and see what's in it if you like. The recipes are mostly meat and grain
types. I always thought maybe roasted eggs would be something to try to
figure out. I know people ate bird eggs. The oatmeal and leek stew sounds
good. I love McAnn's (sp) oats as well.
When I went to England some years back, I stayed at a Welsh youth hostel
that served breakfast. On their menu was some regional dishes and I'm
really game for anything once except liver (which I have tried). I wanted
to try English Porridge which they had as well as laverbread. The porridge
was great. Even people who don't like oatmeal would like British/welsh
oatmeal..... Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try the laverbread but
I think I have a recipe for it....
All good stout simple early food.....
