A Foodie is never alone in madness

Cooking and dining are both social endeavors. I never presumed I was alone in mine. I recently came across friends who started an historical food exercise for their historical foodie friends. I think I shall be social and join the fun. I've been somewhat quiet of late and that's hardly fair to my readers.

The challenge: Research, compose, and present an historical recipe upon a specific theme for the fortnight.
