[Sca-cooks] Lemonwhyt?

[johnna holloway]

I just wonder if she didn't take a rice and
peas recipe and just added the lemon and
then sauced it all with honey, thinking
that would make it exotic and medievally
weird. It's in the vegetable section of the
Fabulous Feasts book.
I did a search on google and found that
apparently people are using it for dishes
like "Castles of Lemonwhyt
  (Savoury rice molds)".
This was served at a medieval banquet in Canberra
back in November 2000 for an Offshore 2000 meeting.

Apparently the recipe has appeal....
