Ooh. These sound good. With the holiday season approaching, both

the American Thanksgiving and Yule, there are often many parties
and pot lucks and such. I often find these are good ways to
introduce folks to period foods.

Jared, can you give us the recipes for these pastry bits and sauces
from Le Menagier and your redactions? And perhaps for these seasoned
cheese/eggs/apples?


Anyone else have some good suggestions for period foods that would
make good party appetizers/finger foods?
