Ingredients
We interrupt your regular programming ...
Queries have started to come in about the ingredients of the various
items - presumably so folks with allergies and such can determine if they
should buy feast. Rather than make them slog through the entire
article series (although it's greatly rewarding!) I'll summarize.
- Bread
- Not being made by me, but at least flour, water, salt, yeast. Perhaps
other ingredients as well.
- Moretum
- Romano cheese, ricotta cheese, garlic, celery, coriander, salt.
- Olives
- Olives and whatever was used to cure them. Salt? Olive oil?
- Glires Falses
- Lamb, salt, pepper, pine-nuts, cumin. String (but don't eat that.)
- Melones
- Cantaloupe, honey, pepper, salt, vinegar.
- Chicken
- Chicken, olive oil, salt.
- Cold sauce for chicken
- Pepper, celery seeds, mint, raisins, honey, wine, vinegar, salt, olive
oil. Maybe lovage.
- Marinated Mushrooms
- Pepper, wine, oil and vinegar.
- Agnus crudus
- Lamb, olive oil, salt, pepper, coriander.
- Betas elixas
- Beets, mustard, olive oil, vinegar.
- Carotas
- Carrots, cumin, pepper, honey, vinegar, salt. Perhaps lovage, parsely,
mint.
- Faseoli virides et cicer
- Chickpeas, green beans, salt, cumin, olive oil, wine.
- Pisces Oenoteganon
- Fish, pepper, onions, olive oil, wine, salt, possibly lovage
and some other green herbs.
- Fruit
- Grapes and other fruits.
- Savillum
- Flour, ricotta cheese, honey, egg, olive oil, poppy seeds.
- Patina de piris
- Pears, pepper, cumin, honey, olive oil, salt, wine, eggs
- Soteltie
- I don't know exactly, since I'm not in charge, but I think they are
basing it off the
Spice Cake recipe I redacted for Mudthaw.
- Posca
- Grape juice, water, wine vinegar.
