Re: Medieval Food
hey TR you could put that pottage/soup/broth on the grill to warm it through after first cooking indoors and it would be so easy to dish up along with your turkey legs etc

Re: Medieval Food
They didn't even get utensils.
The food was served on bread so they could soak up every bit of 'gravy'.
If OP was doing it authentically and not the most poor bit, the flavours like Fatbrit said would be more like Indian. They used a lot of seasonings to help hide the sometimes 'of' flavour of the meat (ginger, mace, cinnamon etc as our mincemeat pie of today is from that era remember they used real meat in the pies back then though mincemeat pies might be on the end times of Medieval) and was said to be very overpowering and too much for our modern palate.
Know the OP said he had a grill would it be one of those grills that has a burner?
as he could make "mawmenny" out of ground mince or pork in wine thickened with almonds with sugar, cloves cinnamon etc http://www.richard111.com/food.htm
and serve it with hunks of bread to soak up the juices.
It could serve a lot and be cheaper for him to make to help eek out the roasts etc.

Re: Medieval Food
completely different. The more rich you were the more seasoning you got, the poor didn't even get salt and pepper.
