This could make a useful start for a message file for the Florilegium. Since
it would give some non-cooks some ideas of easy period-like foods for pot
lucks and such. There is a similar list in "Traveling Dyshes".

However, why do you say meatloaf without oatmeal? I was unaware that
oatmeal was a common filler for modern meatloaf. But besides that, I would
think oats would be a reasonable filler for medieval foods. Were oats not
used this way? Or do all the medieval recipes that we would class as 
*meatloaf* not use any oats?

Thanks.
