Interesting- can you give me references/period recipes on the breads, and
particularly any references to the wrapping of the butter? I had thought
butter was used as a medicine and a cooking ingredient, rather than as a
condiment. Back to the cheap and filling foods for feasts, maybe?

The World's Need

So many Gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
When just the art of being kind
Is all this sad world needs.
