I have just checked through all of the Rapes, Rapey etc. recipes in _Two
Fifteenth Century Cookery Bookes_ and _Curye on Englysche_, and none is at
all similar to this. _Fabulous Feasts_, as has been mentioned here before,
is not a very reliable source. Does anyone recognize this as a period
recipe? It sounds pretty implausible to me.
