Unto the list does Muirghen send greetings.
Well I trial cooked the Wroclaw trencher recipe from the Florigium and I =
must tell you it is awful! I am sure that it faithfully replicates the =
intent of the trencher and if people were expected to actually eat these =
things I really do feel their pain! I made mine with spelt and rye =
flour. The result was heavy and had a bitter after taste. If you =
intend to try this one, I would suggest a trial with a reduced amount. =
I foolishly did the full amount and have regretted it. =20
Knowing that there are some that will think I am criticizing the =
Florigium, let me say that is NOT the case. I am just letting you know =
that this recipe does not produce a palatable result to my modern =
western taste. For the first time feast head cook, I pass my lesson on =
to you. In all my other dishes, I used reduced quantities until I had =
the desired effect. I got cocky with bread having been baking for =
several days now and wanted to be done with that part of the =
pre-cooking. Avoid being tempted to go to the dark side!
As an educational element, I think I will have them on a side table for =
anyone wanting to try them, but will not serve them in the feast. By =
the way, anyone intending to come down for this one, you need to know =
that the feast has moved to a private residence and the site published =
has been cancelled. If you wish more info, contact me privately.
I am now baking still more bread from a trialed recipe.
Yours form the kitchen
Muirghen
