I made both of these medieval dishes, the first one for our Dessert Revel and the second for our upcoming Baronial Twelfth Night potluck. Nicely sourced, documented and interpreted, with good photos of the food and an adorable toddler helper for the original blogger, Condal Ingen Oder.
I was thinking, wouldn’t it be fun to have a medieval meal once a month? I didn’t really know where to begin so I just typed “Medieval Recipes” into Google and picked the first thing that popped up. It was a dish called “Blawmanger.” Thank you to www.godecookery.com/goderec/goderec.htm for the translation.
The first thing you have to do is find a cute toddler in a bear hat and cat ears to make bread with you. It doesn’t say it in the directions but it’s pretty important. Once the bread is made, the next step is to follow the recipe on the website for Blawmanger. See below! 🙂
In my previous Barony, for about 4 years I did a column in our monthly newsletter called “From Rose Marian’s Recipe Box”, where I did a redaction and test of a period recipe (or sometimes several) every month. It was well enough received that the column was nominated for a William Blackfox award for recurring features one year. 🙂 Job craziness made me discontinue it after 4 years though. Enjoy! it’s fun!
No, this was the Barony of Caer Anterth Mawr (Milwaukee, WI and surrounds.) I lived there for 10 years befome coming to Columbus for a new job. (My original Barony, where I started in the SCA (1985), is Rhydderich Hael, which is Buffalo, NY and surrounds (including Niagara Falls).)

By the way, Mistress Rose Marian, what was your previous Barony? Was it in upstate NY, perhaps?
