And according to my calendar, this is the feast day of
St. Benedict the Black, a 16th century monk renowned
as a superb chef, who promoted the idea, revolutionary
among the faithful, that enjoying food was not sinful.
A manuscript by an earlier monk, Giraldus Cambrensis,
written in 1179, reflected his reaction to banquet
fare: "For you might see so many kinds of fish, roast
and boiled, stuffed and fried, so many dishes
contrived with eggs and pepper by dextrous cooks, so
many flavorings and condiments, compounded together
with like dexterity to tickle gluttony and awaken
appetite."

Does anyone know about the writings of Giraldus
Cambrensis?  Or about the writings of St. Benedict?
