The menu was actually pretty simple and the dishes easily found in most
sources:
The head chef was HL Elizabeth of Castleton.
There was an antipasto tray with some kind of sausage rather like a bratwurst
that was bought commercially, hardboiled eggs, radishes, pickled mushrooms.
The obligatory bread and honey butter/herbal butter pairing.
Then a sweet white tart was presented, after that the doucette, and then a
spinach and cheddar tart.
Fresh fruit was served as a finisher.
There were a couple of other dishes but I can't recall them at this time.
Yes, there were a few missing touches and such but the Northern region
is beginning to take period cooking seriously and not many feasts have
made the attempt. If I could have assisted her there would have been
a couple of changes and I would have suggested things like a hand made
mustard with the first course and the doucette should have been slightly
sweeter or a scattering of powdre douce on the white tart. But the
overall meal was delightful and very well produced.
