For all my SCA Homies

(Swiped from a Live Journal buddy)

The Viandier of Taillevent
You are Le Viandier, by Guillaume Tirel (or
Taillevent). Written in the fourteenth century,
you were the first commercially successful
French cookbook.

Hee!

You are Platina's 1465 work De Honesta Voluptate
(On Right Pleasure). You were substantially
plagiarized from an earlier cookbook, but forge
your own tone of philosphical humanism.

Of course you did. Actually, the scary part of that quiz was recognizing the recipes... I knew what the Apicius ones were immediately, and yet they weren't my favorite.

Of course, the Franks wuz GYPPED -- why wasn't Anthimus "On the Observation of Foods" included?!?! Nothing says lovin' like raw bacon for dinner, mmmm-mmmmm!
