[Sca-cooks] celtic food

[johnna holloway]

Do try and take a look at C. Anne Wilson's
 Food and Drink in Britain and Brid Mahon's Land of Milk
and Honey which looks at traditional Irish foods but has
historical material and references. The "Celtic"
histories sometimes cover foods and sometimes don't.
You could browse a number of those and see what you find.
A general read is Geoffrey Moorhouse's Sun Dancing
A Vision of Medieval Ireland. Joanne Asala's
Celtic Folkore Recipes is more lore than history
but it contains a lot of recipes. It's also very
aggravating to use as it gives things as
"To dress sorrel with eggs" and doesn't name the title
of the book or the source except to say
"from a sixteenth-century Anglo-Irish Cookbook".
 What source? What title?
