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.
