SC - an interesting challenge...and its even about medieval food! :)

[allilyn at juno.com]

I looked at this, on the recommendation of one of the vegetarians I was
cooking for...he was the King, of course I read it!...but the dishes were
a long way from having and sort of medieval feel to them.  For a feast,
it worked better to substitute pea broth, almond milk, oil, wine, etc.
and to find vegetable dishes in the corpus.  

Castelvetro has a lot to say about vegetables, as do many of the late and
just out of period books.  Look at La Varenne, Anne-Marie.  Loads of good
stuff, there.  If your hosts are willing to go so far afield as vegan,
they won't care about a fifty year extension.
