[Sca-cooks] non-political sallets

[Stefan li Rous]

Last Thursday Jadwiga Zajaczkowa posted a message about salads and  
pottages.

What is a political sallet? No, I really don't want to know. :-)

=====
Not to interupt the political discussion, but I'm teaching my Sallets &
Green Pottages class again this Saturday. I'm pretty sure I'm missing
some useful Salad recipes from my handout (I think I've asked for
feedback on the handout before, but it's always welcome). Yes, Stefan, I
*have* looked in the Florilegium file *grin*
=====

Good, because although I spent a lot of time reading this list last  
week, I'm still so far behind in reading this list (Some people talk  
a lot. No, don't answer that, either. :-) ) that I'm only now seeing  
your message.

It looks like you found the salads-msg file. Did you also find this  
file?

Anyway period recipes for salads & cooked greens would be welcome.

BTW, here's the handout:
http://gallowglass.org/jadwiga/SCA/cooking/greens.html
====

A nice overview of salads and cooked greens of different types with  
some info I don't think I've seen before. May I add your handout to  
the Florilegium?

====
Also this definition of Green pottages:
Basically, this class uses the term to describe cooked greens, and
especially cooked greens with a liquid.
Cooked greens thickened with a little milk, almond milk, eggs, cheese,
and/or broth is a standard of medieval cooking.
====

I also have this file in the FOOD-VEGETABLES section. But I was  
classing greens as those cooked in water. Not with all this other  
stuff added. But I think you may be classing these as pottages rather  
than just cooked greens. I guess I was thinking of pottages and  
porridges being interchangeable and both more out of grains than  
vegetables. Hmmm.
