A number of you have commented on this, so let me clarify what I considered
document ingredients are for the later period where cookbook sources are
more available. If I know a food type is period I look for recipes that
include that food type and how it was prepared. Within those recipes and
others I look at how they put various ingredients together. In this case,
with krautfuter stew, I can document most of the ingredients from another
stew recipe and the natural inclusion of the meat in stews and the last
ingredients I can now document in period, thanks to the help of the list,
but as of yet have not found recipes off. Oh by the way, krautfuter (which
is only an idea to make depending on the other dishes choosen) is an old
reference to sauerkraut. Krautfuter Stew is a very simple one pot dishes
with very few ingredients that is easy to make over a campfire.

In Service,
