Well, not to take away His Grace's fun or anything, but the ingredients
you mention would suggest that its medievalness is perhaps somewhat
flawed. Of course these ingredients could have been added to more modern
versions of medieval dishes that appear to have survived to the present day.

I guess the bottom line is, what does this book try to teach, compared
to what we try to teach?
