Did I say it was summer LAST month? What foolishness! As we sweat in the oven of the sun, I am reminded of tales my father’s retainers told me as a wee thing, of the time they spent with his liege, Simon de Montfort, in the Holy Land on crusade. One of the retainers brought a wench back from Baghdad, who in the blazing summers, would become nostalgic and tell me of the foods of her homeland.

I will mention there were peas, nothing special done to them; baguettes, which were made by Myfanwy ferch Robert (Sarah E. Yancey Miller); and frissee [1] of pears served with various French cheeses. This dish was redacted and prepared by The Hon. Lord Marcus Valerius Taurus (Joseph Boyd) and here follows his recipe and work notes. A Dish from Kingdom Feast & Bardic, Luncheon Course Little Cabbages (Brussels Sprouts) This recipe is from Le Ménagier de Paris, a 14th century French manuscript; it can be found in Early French Cookery, or in The Medieval Kitchen.

When it is cooked well, put it in a dish and decorate with cloves and sugar....
