Greetings all, I realise that this is a little late but I only found it
today.
A colleague of mine here has found a reference to serving cuttle-fish in a
charter dated around 1216. (I could be a bit off) It was in a monastery in
Portugal where the hostelier served what appears to be the little beasties
cooked in their own ink. The problem was that these were highly
undesirable as a food stuff (apparently) as the visiting abbott tried to
bribe his way out of eating it! There was a mention of it being smelly
too. Does anyone know if this methode of prep. would result in a fishy
smell or could they have been off? (I've never tried it)
Thanks, Coll
