[Sca-cooks] Looking for "Celtic" foods, especially "finger foods"

[Karen Lyons-McGann]

I'm late to responding, but you don't give a date for your event, so
perhaps I can still offer the report I did for my long ago Irish feast in
the Florilegium.

<http://www.florilegium.org/?http://www.florilegium.org/files/FEAST-REVIEWS/Irish-Vik-fst-art.html>The
foods (ingredients) I used were documented as appearing in songs, tales or
archeological digs in Ireland (not by ME, my main resource is listed).  The
recipes were from various sources, some documentable to Ireland at
sometime, mostly medieval, others documentable to SCA period, early period
even, but not necessarily Irish.  Some of the dishes are finger food,
others might easily be adapted.



1. Pickled Quail Eggs

2. Baked Mushrooms

3. Samit Cheese (Fresh Cheese w/herbs)

4. Buttermilk Oaten Bread

5. Boiled Ham

6. Cisti Meacan Ban (Parsnip Cakes)

7. Brotchan Rua (Leek and Oat soup)

8. Wheaten Bread

9. Marog Mheacan Dearg (Carrot Pudding)

10. Kailkenney (Kale and Barley)

11. Fried Beans from The Forme of Curye

12. Roast Rib of Beef w/ Pepper Sauce

13.  Honey Custard

14.  Berries
