[Sca-cooks] bread puddings

[Stefan li Rous]

Lady Ysabeau mentioned in her review of the recent Bryn Gwlad Candlemas 
feast:
> The dessert was a spiced bread pudding with sauteed apples and
> pears. The bread pudding was very different from any bread pudding
> I've ever had and was made with red wine (instead of milk, I
> think). It wasn't like bread, it was kind of flat and sticky but
> really really good.
Yes, this was one of my favorite dishes of the feast, although I liked 
most of them. Unfortunately, I've not see the cook, Mistress Maedhbh, 
post any of the recipes to the local or Ansteorra list, yet. I guess 
I'm going to have to decide which dishes I liked the best and make a 
request.

The apples and pears were a bit firmer than I might have chosen, but 
Maedhbh told me that she specifically wanted them firm. So, that is 
probably a matter of personal taste.

I also don't remember bread puddings being discussed much on this list, 
although I do have perhaps a few scattered through the Florilegium. 
However at this time, I have no file dedicated specifically to these.

Does anyone have any particular period bread pudding recipes/redactions 
which they like? For that matter, since I seem to like bread puddings 
(I've only had them twice, that I remember), I wouldn't mind getting 
any non-period bread puddings that you particularly like.

Thanks,
   Stefan
