This is what I try to talk to people about. However, the programming of “healthy” and “non-healthy” foods is strong.

I have found no pictures of the dish described here, so this is a drawing of a spice merchant from the fifteenth-century Hausbuch der Mendelschen Zwölfbrüderstiftung. The image shows an elderly man dresssed in a blue tunic and black hood. He is holding scales in his right hand and is standing behind a market stall. The stall consists of a board laid over a barrel, and on it, we see a number of small bags laid out with their opening rolled up to display the contents. They are (presumably leather) pouches holding spices for sale. In the background, stylised houses indicate an urban scene.
Following Monday's post on making medieval food colours, here is the recipe for using them all: A layercake made without fire, from the Dorotheenkloster MS:

An illustration from the late fourteenth century Florentine Tacuinum Sanitatis. The picture shows a woman in a blue dress standing in a field of saffron crocus flowers. She is holding a basket in her left hand and bending over to pick flowers that she places in it. A tree stands in the background. The flowers are shown with their distinctive dark red stamen that is harvested and dried to make saffron, a popular food colouring in the medieval German kitchen.
I'm finally back, and today, there is a set of fifteenth-century recipes for making food colours through the year.

A mid-fifteenth century illustration showing a baker. A man dresed in a long tunic, hosen, and a hood is standing in front of a large oven. He is holding a baker's peel in both hands, about to slide several loaves into the oven's front opening. Two elongated shapes drawn at the top of the peel are probably the sem(m)el breads referenced in the recipe. These were made from fine wheat flour. Source: Hausbuch der Mendelschen Zwölfbrüderstifung.
I'm back from my seaside trip, but very tired. A short 15th-century recipe for fried bread slices with colourful fillings today:

Illustration from the late 14th-century Tacuinum Sanitatis showing a field of millet. Tall stalks fill the background while a woman in courtly dress walks past in the foreground, her pink dress hitched up to reveal a blue underdress. Birds fly above the field.
Today, I have a series of recipes for facy #porridge from the #15th-century Dorotheenkloster MS
