SC - more homemade sausages

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

>* Finally, has anyone got a list of recipes which specify what changes can
be made to make them suitable for a non-meat day? I'm after some period
guidelines as to what to do when adapting recipes for vegetarians.<


        From the "Medieval Handbooks of Penance"  (John T McNeill and Helena
M Gamer, Octagon Books Inc 1965)  it reads that  when doing Penance for a
year, the three fast days are Mon Weds & Fri,   and on Tues Thurs and Sat  "
. . .abstain from wine, mead, honeyed beer, meat, fat, cheese and eggs, and
from every kind of fat fish. He may, however, eat little fishes if he is
able to obtain them.  If he cannot obtain them, he may, if he wishes, eat
one kind of fish only and beans and vegtables and apples, and drink beer."

    and that's a pretty good idea of a lenten meal;  so use what recipes are
available for Lent/ fast days/ ember days  for the Vegetarians.
