SC - Digest 2449 - germanic request

[Martina Grasse]

Greeting Lady Alvira

if you are interested in Period late German, I am in the process of webbing a 
German cookbook from 1581.  
Go to the URL and click on the splash page to enter 

http://clem.mscd.edu/~grasse/Welcome.html

If you read German (better yet period (I think it is Middle High) German) 
there are links to transliterations of the period book, if you do not read 
German some of the recipes have been translated by me, in the section called 
"The Rumpolt Project."

The closest thing to a Saurbraten is probably recipe #44 of the beef section 
(you have to click on the link to Thomas' site to get it).  IF I have time I 
will translate it later this afternoon.

Please contact me on or off-list if I can be of  further assistance.

In Service to the Dream

Gwen Catrin von Berlin

Subject: SC - Need help

Greetings,
    My name is Alvira MacDonald and I am new to the list.  I will be cooking 
a feast the weekend before Thanksgiving for our shire's Toys for Tots event.  
    I have pretty much decided on a later period Germanic theme.  I'm stuck 
though on a couple of points.  In the third remove I would like to do a 
roasted beef.  Could someone point me in the right direction for inspiration?
    It is a dry site, what would be good to serve to drink?
    My last question, for now <g>, is that I would like to use sour cherries 
as one of the sweets.  Would it be appropriate to make a compote?   
    Thank you for your help!  Alvira
