I am teaching Exploring the Middle Ages this semester, and Thursday is our
next class. I am doing my Shrovetide/Lent food class. The menu is:
Shrovetide Menu
Pancakes
Golden Balls
Hedgehogs
Y-stuffed Quails Eggs
Tri-color Cheese Tart
Yppocris
Pancake Races
Lent Menu
Pretzels
Pesyn with Caramelized Onions
Almond Cheese/Butter
Gingerbrede
Water
Almond Milk
Lenten Alms Jar
The pancake races were a big hit the last time I did this class. :)
I've been doing a Spring cleanse for a few weeks, but plan to get more
serious about the diet part of it when Lent starts, abstaining from sugar,
corn syrup, and pork (haven't been eating that for 6 weeks or so, but after
my German food class tonight I have fallen off of the pork abstinence wagon
HARD). I did the full-on Lenten diet the first year we started this
tradition, and learned that both I and my persona were very tired of white
fish at the end of it. Now I use it as a logical time frame to help clean
out my diet of one food or another.
I have also decided to try Tai Chi.

I want to do an event based around fat tuesday and some of the traditions
that I have found as part of it. Like the pancake flipping race that is
held every year in England and in a city in the US, still today. Are there
any recipes and fun traditions that you guys know of? I am thinking about
doing this event next year, and I want to gather information for it.
Thanks!

Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of Lent. I will be observing
the medieval Lenten diet, which is basically vegan (though honey is
allowed). I am using the diet from @ c.780-800 (my time period), which is no
animal product, one meal a day (with a 'collation' in the evening), and
fasting on Friday. Sunday is a 'feast day', which means more than one meal,
and bigger meals. Yay. :-/ I don't know how far I'll get on the one meal and
fasting part. We'll see.
Anybody with me? I can dig up later stuff if you're interested.
Oh- and whining about Lent is a very period tradition, and I plan to do it.
:-P
