Greetings, the list!
Does anyone know if there are any extant medieval cookbooks from
Portugal, or describing a Portuguese period culinary tradition? Our
shire is planning a Portuguese Explorer event (we're in Cape Town, it
seemed appropriate) and I was wondering what kind of food would fit
with the theme. The current plan is to try for a late-15th century
feel (da Gama rounded the Cape in 1497), with an African flavour
(sweet potatoes, ostrich), but I'd love to have some actual
Portuguese dishes.
(I have had a look in the Florilegium, but didn't find anything in
the bibliography... Stefan, haven't you moved the Florilegium
recently? I don't seem to have kept the new URL).
many thanks,
Jehanne
