[Sca-cooks] Quince Paste

[johnna holloway]

Brears suggests that butters, pastes and creams
were eaten with brown bread as Pepys apparently did
or scooped up onto wafers. I rather thought some of the
spoonfoods were just eaten by the spoonful as one
eats peanut butter out of the container now. How would
small cakes or shortbreads taste with a layer of quince paste
spread on them? They also made presentations of these pastes,
so you could package it up and present it as a gift to someone
too.
