[Sca-cooks] Boar in Counfett

[Michael Gunter]

>>Boar in Comfit (easy version)

>What is the source for this recipe?

I got it out of a little book called "Traveling Dysshes"
by Siobhan Medhbh O'Roarke.

A bunch of recipes for SCA use that are easily transported
and prepared.

The original is quoted as being from "Kay of Triasrium,
Ancient Cookery" but I have no idea of the further source.

This is what is quoted as the original recipe:

Bor in Counfett
Take felittes of braun and let hem lye in merlous and
houre, and then parboyle hem, and roile hem and do in
a pot clarifiet honey and wyn togethere, and put thereto
poudre of peper, and of cloves, and there hit that it be
thyk, and in the thykennynge bounden to the fellettes,
then take hem out o fthe pot, and lay hem as a bourdre
to kele, and whan thei ben cooled dresse them for the shew
in a dysshe, an beside hem some barses of silver and in
the mydward a barre of golde, and serue it forth.

I have no idea of the accuracy of the source. But the
dish is different, very very good and easy to do over
a campfire. I made this as part of the dishes for the
Queen's Tea at Estrella and also made them for my camp.
There were no leftovers from either serving.
