Thank you Eduardo for entertaining me while I am home with the plague :)
RE: MS1601 - I've been trying to collect 16th century pastry crust
recipes, and in the early section of the manuscript the recipe on 14r uses
flour and butter. 16r had a recipe for puff pastry as a bonus. The other
items that were of most interst to me were the turkey on 18r, and a tart
of green peas on 37r.
Was someone looking for rose hip recipes a while ago? 40r features a rose
hip tart.
It just takes a singular look at a period manuscript to realize that even
though I am quite fluent in modern English I would be lost and out of
place in Elizabethan England. Soooo much to learn! I think I'm going to
go back now and try to understand the milk recipes.

(oh, and there are German manuscripts!)
