Possibly. It merely tells me that Gerard himself was partial to beetroots.
:-) Regarding the recipe you posted it sounds good but what justification is
there for the use of Cheddar cheese? Did this cheese exist at that time? I
was under the impression that cheddaring was well out of period. What other
cheese would be a better choice and more periodlike?
I am sorry for so many questions but I am singularly unimpressed with early
modern cooking and sometimes either have glossed over many of the details or
do not have the sources readily available to confirm or negate any particular
observation or interpretation.
