[Sca-cooks] Early Period varieties of vegetables

[Johnna Holloway]

I presume you saw the article
"Medieval and Renaissance Cookery, Cookbooks, and Foods from  
Scandinavia" which
was published last fall in the Gauntlet.
Works that examine plants and were listed therein include:

Medieval Food Traditions in Northern Europe. Edited by Sabine Karg.  
Copenhagen: National Museum of Denmark, 2007. (National Museum Studies  
in Archaeology & History volume 12.) Botanical lists of plants gleaned  
from various sites. Hanseatic Germany, Estonia, and Northern Poland;  
medieval Finland; Sweden and the Hanse; also medieval Denmark; and  
Norway.
Banham, Debby. Food and Drink in Anglo-Saxon England. Stroud,  
Gloucestershire: Tempus, 2004.
Hagen, Ann. Anglo-Saxon Food and Drink. Hockwold cum Wilton, Norfolk,  
England: Anglo-Saxon Books, 2006. Combined one volume version of: A  
Handbook of Anglo-Saxon Food: Processing and Consumption, 1992, and A  
Second handbook of Anglo-Saxon Food & Drink : Production &  
Distribution, 1995. Hagen works are classics that are widely cited.
