Does it still have a recipe for what people used to call [something 
like] Medieval Chicken McNuggets, based on a period recipe for fowl 
of some kind, boiled, finished in a sweet-and-sour sauce, and served, 
IIRC, as egredouce? Because if it does, it continues to stray across 
the line between whimsical expedience and misinformation.

The book is definitely an interesting concept, though.
