Direct them to Guter Spise (1345-1354)
http://cs-people.bu.edu/akatlas/Buch/recipes.html

and Sabina Welserin (1553)

Have them try the pear mustard, if they think Medieval cooking was bland- #
34, and look at all the pepper sauces that there are recipes for.

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
