[Sca-cooks] French Veggie Dishes / Burgundian event menu

[Stefan li Rous]

> Generys gave her feast menu:
> First Course
> Soupe Flemande (Flemish Soup)

What type of soup is this?

> Cive de Bouef en Bols de Pain (Beef Stew in Bread Bowls)

Have you found evidence for use of "bread bowls" in period? Or is this
just a convenience measure? We have discussed trenchers before, but
those are just flat slabs of bread. No one previously could give any
evidence of hollowed out bread being used to serve food. Stuffed bread,
yes. Bread bowls, no. Unfortunately, because they are handy in some
situations.

> Frumenty avec Venaison et Sauce Royale, dans un chateau de patisseri

What kind of sauce is this?

> Porc Rost

roast pork?

> Sauce Vert et Sauce de Poivre et Ail

Green sauce?

> Desserts
>
> Hypocras (Spiced Wine)
>
> Taillis (Bread Pudding with almond milk and grapes)

What kind of grapes are you planning to use? Some of those tiny
champagne grapes seem like they might be nice in this, but maybe too
expensive.

> Wafers

I'd be interested in hearing which wafer recipe/redaction you use. I
assume this is a "sweet" wafer and not a "savory" one since it is under
desserts.
Thanks,
  Stefan
