A fools dish

[alysten]

I am investigating sweet dishes for Bhakail's Yule feast.  I will have to prepare foods from a common larder (part of the feast challenge from the autocrat) that are fitting for "traditional English" feast.  I am going out on a limb and say that eggs, cream, sugar and fruit should be part of the common larder.  These are common enough ingredients and the building blocks for so many other things. [Poll #1455074][Poll #1455074]

Pumpkins from Mexico were brought to Europe by Columbus. It is plausible that pumpkin [though not our modern pumpkins] could have indeed been what "pumpion" was. Still researching though. Though apparently they called anything round and melon like in shape, a melon. Which ironically enough, is not too far from the truth. Again it is all going to depend on what's in the basket. The nice thing about fools, is that they are flexible based upon the season in which they are cooked.

Feel free to pipe up if there are suggestions that sound particularly yummy to you, or vise versa.

Looking forward to having you here.
