SC - Late Fall/Early Winter Vegetables

[k&t Radford]

I am a baby here myself when it comes to SCA knowledge & cooking period
knowledge. But I recently attended a midwinter feast in which I spent most
of the time working in the kitchen. What little bit of information I
gathered was that root veggies were mainly harvested & served at this time.
For veggies we had plain boiled carrots and then another dish of onions
sauted in white wine with bread crumbs over the top. We didn't have any
yams or potatoes. It was a early Celtic type theme.
Although IMHO, I always love to have some sort of potatoes -- although not
sure how period it is. But roasted spiced potatoes sounds good with pork.
Also instead plain carrots I would have preferred something with some
spices.
