Ok... non-SCAdian here... but I do like food! :D So, I am wondering what some things are on your listy here! What are frumenty, daryal, and salat?

And can I have recipes for some of these wonderful things? The garlic pie people mentioned (the garlic torta?), macrews (who doesn't love mac & cheese?), and walnut pie?

And how do you dry cantaloupe? Sounds delish!

Sure!

I bought the cantelope dried at the local Middle Eastern Market.

Frumenty is cooked bulgur wheat with various things in it-- sort of wheat pilaf. Daryals are cheese cake like pies, the predecessors of custard pies. And Salat would be the medieval version of salad, which differs mostly with more different greens and being dressed before serving with olive oil, vinegar and salt, separately.

I do need to get the recipes; I'll bug Christopher about them & post them on my LJ.
