the rpr cooking contest got me curious about medieval foods, and i stumbled on this amazing site i thought i'd share here!

http://www.godecookery.com/gcooktoc/gcooktoc.htm

it has pretty much anything you'd need to know about what people ate (and how to make it!), dinner-table customs, etc. i hope this can be useful to add a little more flavor (heehee) to medieval rp settings!
This is an awesome resource! I'm so glad that the contest got you inspired to research further.

I'm scarred for life by the recipe where they cook a living bird, though.
