So we cook and enjoy old world foods and learn about some other culture each year. This year I've got a bunch of great recipes from my new Feast of Thrones book. Some fantasy, but some traditional medieval European foods as well.
We'll be having game hen, mushroom oyster soup, turnips in butter, pease porridge, oat cakes, sweet lemon cakes, Roman honey fingers, goat cheese w/apricot tarts and Cream Swans. Well, we'll see about the cream swans. They look difficult, but my daughter is excited to make them, so I'll give it a shot and we'll make them a couple of days ahead of time. To drink we'll be making lemon sweet and mulled wine.
I'm really looking forward to something besides turkey and sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. I like those things, but I can have them any old time.
At any rate, even if you don't want to celebrate the traditional Thanksgiving, there is always some excuse you can make for a feast!
Thanks for turnips. I have a great parsnip recipe I'll need to add to the list.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
