Darn that anyway! Just looking now and there are two side dishes, Onion tart and Beans in oil.

Hard to believe that all those things we think of as staples hadn't made to the wee isles by then--tomatoes, potatoes, garlic. And in Ireland we didn't even have much wheat--just porridge...Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229190187759296615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331688081496668397.post-8564191077398620262008-08-27T09:01:00.000+01:002008-08-27T09:01:00.000+01:00Thanks Stephanie!

It was so enjoyable to research and then put into practice! <BR/><BR/>Michelle, the meat custard was much more eggy than a meatloaf, a different texture completely! Not to put anyone off it, as it was really nice, but it was actually like a custard with meat in!AMIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12550558277289816750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331688081496668397.post-68100094520919775932008-08-27T03:06:00.000+01:002008-08-27T03:06:00.000+01:00Meatloaf without garlic?!?!?I love the idea of saf...Meatloaf without garlic?!?!?<BR/><BR/>I love the idea of saffron sauce. That's one of the most expensive spices I own... and it is totally worth it! And I miss being able to get double cream, it really is a little different than our "heavy cream". I miss the yogurt too. And the cheese, bacon, bread... (I think we are going to have to move back to England...) :-)<BR/><BR/>Is that language they actually wrote the book in? Can't wait until the next one!<BR/><BR/>(Your menu suggestion sounds intriguing. I am going to have to do some research and make these. Which I'll post of course!)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969268214137270934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331688081496668397.post-5653740805992927002008-08-27T01:44:00.000+01:002008-08-27T01:44:00.000+01:00What a fun idea!

I look forward to seeing more of "what they ate" in the future!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591387295768935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331688081496668397.post-8037600287736681122008-08-26T08:56:00.000+01:002008-08-26T08:56:00.000+01:00Thanks Beth, its all so interesting!

It is quite like meatloaf but the taste is very different, taking garlic out of the picture really changes things!AMIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12550558277289816750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331688081496668397.post-48809773945398466252008-08-26T02:52:00.000+01:002008-08-26T02:52:00.000+01:00wow, that does sound good.

I liked the food history post. Hope to see more of themBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181577253486355574noreply@blogger.com
