Well, I normally cook from the Forme of Cury, Two Fiftenth Century
manuscripts and similar sources. When I pack for a feast I tend to pack
more ginger than sugar, and most honey goes into peoples tea with
breakfast. Things like tarte de bry has a few tablespoons at most of
sugar in it, and creme boylede has 1-2 T for 1 litre of cream. Most
dishes contain no (added) sugar at all.
