This sauce was also a surprise to me. I should have put saunders or even food
coloring to make it redder. I'm glad you liked it, I didn't care for it all that
much and as I stated before would have been happier making a galyngale for it.
I don't see anything wrong with serving a sweet sauce, especially with pork. I
would probably have made a sweet to go with the garlic/pepper for people's
different tastes.

I don't think the batter was much different from the period recipe. The period
recipe is just a basic beer batter. Since Ansteorra will not reimburse me for
any alcohol, I went for a pancake batter and put a note in the handout about what
was happening. I need to make the period recipe and compare them but I don't think
there would be that great a difference.

I really liked the brewet myself, but I also liked the pork & sauces, pasties,
lentils. I guess I was pretty happy with most of the food.
Oh, and I'm glad you liked the peascods. Just boil fresh green beans in salt water
and toss with melted butter. Voila!
