I will be using the dish from the Forme of Cury called "Makke"
(p 41/A21) as redacted in Cariadoc's Miscellany for an upcoming
feast. Can anyone tell me how this name is pronounced? I would
like to stress its true name from the beginning to avoid having
it tagged "medieval refried beans", which it greatly resembles in
color and texture (and somewhat in taste as well). I could see
it being pronounced anywhere from "make" to "Mah-kee" to "muck",
so I really need some help!
My Middle English is a bit rusty... I do know that the 'e' on the end
is pronounced, sounded like the 'e' in "horses"; I suspect
(feverishly consulting my Chaucer...) the 'a' should be an 'ah', as
in 'father'. Effect should be something like "mahk - eh".
Hope this helps. Better still, hope it's right!
