Actually the Pynson version has been worked out with a working recipe
and will be appearing when Longleat releases the two volume Pynson  
edition.
Brenda Hosington and Hieatt did versions for all the Pynson recipes.  
That's part
of what the forthcoming Pynson will contain.

My guess is that Terry Nutter also made it because she was nothing if  
not a completist. I thought we had a note that she'd done
all the galentine versions that she could find. She knew all about  
Napier and the Pynson.
I'll see if I can find that note.
