Hello All!
I’m posting this to both the Early Medieval and General Chat forums for the widest response.
What evidence is left for cooking techniques & utensils from Ireland (possibly Wales, Scotland and England as well) before the Normans, i.e. Manuscript marginal illustrations, written references from pre-Norman copies of Annals and other books, surviving utensils & cookingware? Not interested in fulachta fiadha.
I’m after both native Irish stuff and Viking. Is there evidence, for example, for ovens?
Also, are here any references to smoking or smoked food?
Any references appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrea Willett
