Recipe Favorites

Let us know your favorite period recipes for encampment! But remember that in Europe in medieval times there wasn't always the food we know and love. According to the food document posted on the Neville's Yahoo Group site, the following foods were not in use yet: Allspice, Baking Soda, Bananas, Cashews, Chocolate, Coffee, Corn, Green Beans, Paprika, Peanuts, Pecans, Peppers, Pineapple, Potatoes, Summer Squash, Tea, Tomatoes, and Vanilla. Bummer huh!?

This is THE best beer bread recipe I've tasted yet. Was told that Killian's works great but that it's all up to your personal taste. Feel free to try different beers and post your results here for the rest of us.

The stew we made at NHRF this year was really good - I saw a couple pounds of cut beef, half an apple, several turnips and carrots, some port and water, and some spices go in there. Did I miss anything?
