Cariadoc asked:
<<< My standard way of serving various period Islamic dishes is on top of
rice. Urtatim recently suggested to me that that might be wrong,
historically speaking. Checking the obvious sources, I cannot find any
period reference to food being served that way. >>>
So what are the possible ways to serve rice? What ways did you find in the period recipes, Cariadoc?
What I can think of is:
1) Rice mixed in with other foods.
2) Rice served as a mound by itself.
3) Rice over other foods. (Doesn't seem to make much sense from a presentation point of view)
As another data point, how were other grains served?
Is rice called out for in any soups?
Thanks,
Stefan
