Yes, the original Funges recipe is given.  _To the King's Taste_ wasn't
written for historical re-enactors.  It was written for modern cooks 23 years
ago.  This does not, IMO, preclude it from being used as a basis for cooking
in a medieval context.  Practice with the ingredients and the language will
allow people to utilize this little book quite well.  As cooks get better at
doing redactions themselves, the book becomes less of a cookbook and more of a
cheat sheet.  Beginners find it useful, as I did when I started cooking for
the SCA 22 years ago.  It was all we had back then.  I still use it, and its
companion volume, _To The Queen's Taste_.  I have my own personal problems
with some of the redactions, and when I do, I use my own redactions, not Dr.
Sass's.  It's still a great place to start.

Walk in peace,
Wolfmother
