Glancing through my backlog of digests from when I was away at
Pennsic, I saw a thread on breakfasts started by Katia.
Katia, first welcome to the SCA-Cooks list! Secondly, as Bear points
out medieval breakfasts, when eaten at all, tended to vary a bit from
what folks today would consider breakfast. However, there are a
number of period recipes for foods which meet today's idea of
breakfasts, even if they didn't tend to be eaten first thing in the
morning. A number of these have already been detailed in other
messages.
You might also want to glance at this file in the FOOD section of the
Florlegium:
breakfast-msg (88K) 12/14/03 What's for breakfast? SCA and
period.
<<< Much like a kettle of french toast but done in a cast iron pot
would be not only doable but also very very easy for my volunteers to
fix. >>>
I'm not sure how the cast iron pot comes in, since I thought French
Toast tended to be grilled, but there are these two files in the FOOD-
BREADS section of the Florilegium:
3-F-Toast-Rec-art (8K) 8/17/03 "Period French Toast Recipes"
by Lady Hauviette d’Anjou.
French-Toast-art (27K) 3/31/00 "From Lost Bread to French Toast" by
Christianna MacGrain.
French-Toast-msg (21K) 11/14/04 Period French Toast. Recipes.
Of course since Maple syrup is a bit post period, I'd look for a
different topping for these. :-)
Other possibilities:
bagels-msg (8K) 3/23/06 Period bagels.
fried-breads-msg (22K) 9/12/06 Period fried breads. Funnel
cakes, donuts.
oakcakes-msg (20K) 3/26/06 Period oatcakes.
pancakes-msg (51K) 11/20/04 Period pancakes and pancake-like
foods.
porridges-msg (50K) 4/ 6/07 Period porridges and gruels.
