I have obviously not yet had a chance to check the book at work, but I 
did find the following recipe on a website belonging to the Richard III 
Soceity of Canada at http://www.cgocable.net/~tbryce/recipes.html

Canel Cucumber

2 large cucumbers
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. sugar 

Cut washed cucumbers into 1/4" circles. Mix cinnamon with sugar, and 
place mixture in a salt shaker. Shake cinnamon sugar onto each 
cucumber round. Serve.


The source of this recipe is not listed, but I observe that several of the 
other recipes on the same page are slightly adapted from ones in 
"Fabulous Feasts", and I see one (Swithin Cream) that I think I 
remember from "Medieval Holidays and Festivals".  Others are labelled 
as being adapted from such sources as "Pleyn Delit" and "Sallets, 
Humbles, and Shrewsbury Cakes".
