Bonne asked about:

Food and Feast in Medieval England ~ P. W. Hammond, Alison Sim /
Sutton Publishing / October 1997 

A kind friend just gave this to me for my birthday.  It has hordes 
of the most _wonderful_ pictures - reproductions of medieval 
originals, not only people feasting, but  utensils, both cooking and 
eating, kitchens, cooks at work, merchants selling food, etc, .  I 
haven't had time to look through the text more than briefly, but it 
seems to be geared more to a general cultural overview than to 
specific recipes.  Lovely chapters on food sources, what was grown, 
etc, and on feasts, upper and lower class eating habits, etc.  

(this is a bit behind the discussion - believe it or not, a building 
crane fell on our computer science building day before yesterday, 
wrecking cables and email in all directions - I've just caught up two 
days' worth of mail....  University life, living dangerously.  
Luckily no-one was hurt).
