[Sca-cooks] Raggedy Comfits

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

I haven't tried making comfits myself, although i'm thinking about it 
- i just have a mental block about all that sugar... anyway, some 
folks who *have* worried that their comfits were not smooth.

Here's a detail from a late 16th or early 17th century paintings, 
showing comfits... they're pretty raggedy...

I'm really enjoying this website, which is Ivan Day's. Mr. Day 
teaches classes in historic cooking, primarily in England, besides 
being involved with some museum exhibitions and books...
