Recipes from the Wagstaff Miscellany - 9 Lentyn foyles


Recipes from the Wagstaff Miscellany (Beinecke MS 163)

This manuscript is dated about 1460.

The 200 (approx.) recipes in the Wagstaff miscellany are on pages 56r through 76v.

Images of the original manuscript are freely available on the Yale University Library website.

I have done my best to provide an accurate, but readable transcription. Common abbreviations have been expanded, the letters thorn and yogh have been replaced with their modern equivalents, and some minor punctuation has been added.

I haven't found any clear parallels to this recipe.  The combination of herbs, onions, raisins, and almond milk is very unusual.
