SC - Chicken Evolution

[Siegfried Heydrich]

More catching up on stuff I've been meaning to post. Here's the menue from 
my feast last month.  Hauviette shared with me her Clancy Day Feast 
menu/recipes/notes as I have had such a crazy winter and was getting 'down 
to the wire" and still only had vague ideas and no plan. Her plan seemed to 
rely upon knowing a food was available, and finding a medieval recipe from 
any place in period.

Mine went a different direction, once deciding that a food was correct in 
time, I hunted for recipes I could document as to place, so some of these 
are speculative and some just plain modern.  "Land of Milk and Honey: The 
Story of Traditional Irish Food and Drink, Brid Mahon,  Poolbeg Press, 
Dublin" was my main source for information on whether or not a food was 
available in Ireland at the appropriate time.  I wanted to follow up with 
the sources she used, but was again fell short in time.

I'll post whichever recipes are wanted, let me know.
