This was presented as, I think, a doucette. But it was mainly a custard pie
with roast pork. It was delicious but my one complaint about it was that it
was basically savory. HL Elizabeth said she did add honey to the mix but
didn't know how much. There were no raisins added and I would have suggested
a poudre douce sprinkled on the top.

I may have the name wrong, I wasn't taking notes at the feast.
