I don't know of English Jewish culinary custom but I read on the East Kingdom
list a few months back on how detailed the records were on people suspected
of being Jewish during the Spanish Inquisition. Evidently there were quite a 
few recipes and cooking preperations.

It was a facinating article and I wish I still had the copy.

I know it's not what you are looking for but it is of interest and could be a
start.

Maybe one of the members on here who are also on the East list saved it.


Yers,
