Just out of curiousity, gentle and noble cousins --

I've read (in sources that are less than entirely trustworthy, alas) that
one way to bake a chicken was to wrap it in leaves, slather the wrapped
bird with clay or plaster, and bake the whole thing. Since this would, if
done right, wind up sealing the bird in an airtight covering with all the
germs dead, it sounded to me as though it would be a good thing to make
for a traveller's dinner, and convenient -- just crack open the baking
shell and brush off the particles and dust, unwrap the bird, and eat.

Does anyone know if this is period? And if it is, has anyone succeeded in
doing it right?

Inquiring minds would like to know.
