Ooh. Has anyone ever researched the food referances in Chaucer? I know
Adamantius recently mentioned there were some, and I found a more
complete referance to this in the Florilegium, but right now I
don't remember what subject was being discussed.

Anyone written a paper on this? I'd love to have such an article for the
Florilegium.
