[Sca-cooks] lampreys

[Stefan li Rous]

Alys K. mentioned:
<<< The recipe in II 68 is for lampreys with galingale, ginger and  
canel.
No bread or thickening agent but 69 has bread but no galingale, although
it's called a "galentyne".  Ain't medieval cookery fun?? >>>

Lampreys?!

Has anyone cooked one of the medieval lamprey recipes? Where did you  
get the lamprey? Or did you substitute something for it. Perhaps a  
different type of eel?

Or did you hunt them in the wild? Doesn't the lake at Pennsic or Gulf  
Wars have lampreys? Or am I thinking of some other critter?
