If I were an octopus, i.e. had the time, I would do the same with Quixote if it hasn’t been done already. I know Quixote better than Shakespeare and Sancho Panza can make your mouth water throughout between his breadcrumbs and other peasant dishes still known and eaten today in Extremadura at least. Whenever my memory serves me I do cite Cervantes in my blog - Medieval Spanish Chef but I should do it more. . . 

Thanks for the info as I do compare Spanish medieval food to the English when it seems possible.
