The original post about this was on the Aethelmearc list, but I thought
people here would be interested.

I just got done watching.  It was very interesting.  Some of the things I
said,  "Documentation please!"

Turkeys were imported from Mexico in 1523.

Cornstarch was used to make (oops I can't remember how they phrased the
rest)perhaps for confections.

FYI, They used Alison Sim's book The Tudor Housewife

and also a food historian  Ivan Day  gave a lot of info and one other
person who's name I didn't catch.  BTW, the program will be on a lot more
this month.

I probably will tape it one of the times in the early morning so I will
have a copy.

Anyone else have any comments about it?
