I can't remember how many of the recipes in this file in the FOOD-CONDIMENTS
section are late period, but there ought to be a few with the number
that are in there.

We just finished our baronial Yule Revel this evening. I ended up making
Hais and Gingerbrede for my portion of the pot luck. I had two other
items, both from Cariadoc's Miscellany, but time just got away from me.
These were the cheese and flour cake and Frytour Blanched. Since I've
bought the recipes, I guess I'll just have to make them for us. :-)

I think next year though that I might make a selection of mustards and
other period sauces, though. There were several dishes of roast meats
and chickens plus what the barony provided, but only one, tiny jar of
commercial mustard.

Oh yes, the gingerbrede and hais went over well. There was nothing
left to bring home.

The gringerbread was actually left over from a demo several weeks ago.
I was trying to use them as 'rewards' for trying the NW/OW food game.
But they were way too soft and just slowly oozed into a single layer
on the plate. I had made them in balls. I brought the disaster home,
heated it up again and added more breadcrumbs. And then since they
had been pretty sticky, I rolled them in powdered cinnamon to make 
them less sticky.
