[Gorgeous Muiredach]

>Here we go again.
>"Because Crusader food was often too highly spiced (in order to hide the
>fact that the meat had gone rancid), many of the dishes of that time are
>no longer considered palatable. "
>And one of the "900 year old" recipes is entitled "Mutton with String
>Beans and Pears".
>Another food writer who is a poor food historian.
