bread-pudding-msg - 9/28/18
Period bread pudding and bread pudding like recipes. Many medieval puddings use bread crumbs for thickening. For this file, we are considering puddings which use pieces or cubes of bread, rather than crumbs, flour or other thickeners as "bread puddings".

There are bread-based puddings, but they aren't much like
modern bread puddings. On the other hand, bread is one
of the three great thickeners of the high middle ages in
Europe (the others being ground almonds and rice flour).
Use it to thicken your stew, as Cariadoc suggested.
If you want pointers to period bread-based puddings, let
me know.

I found this recipe in Cariadoc's Miscellany (It's from Ein Buch von guter
Spise), and thought it would be appropriate for the "Bread Pudding' topic.
From what I can gather, it is very similar to modern bread pudding, sans egg
(though the author does suggest using eggs if another milk besides almond
milk is used).
I'll be trying this recipe out on Tuesday, and I'll let you know how it comes
out. For those of you who have tried it before, any production tips?

upper crust down fine and thin. Cut thereafter slices, the thinnest that you
can that begin under the upper crust. Each slice should be round. Join the
slices four together and cut them small as a strap and cut them crosswise
over, so you make (them) small. Hold the almond milk over the fire. Let it
become warm. Throw the bread therein so that it becomes thick. Hold it over
the fire. Let it boil and give it in the bowls and strew a sugar thereon.
That is called calcus and give out. Also you may make other milk too, if you
want to add egg yolks thereto.

Here are a few period recipes I found. I like making a variation of

for the suet.

[Das Kuchbuch der Sabina Welserin, V. Armstrong (trans.)]
44 To make a wine pudding. Take grated bread crumbs, brown them in fat
until they become crisp, put in good wine and egg yolks in it and
sweeten to taste.
54 To make an egg pudding. Beat eggs and milk together and brown bread
crumbs in fat and pour the milk and eggs therein, and let it cook and
salt it.
127 A good bread pudding. Take grated white bread, stir it in a pan
with meat broth and let it cook together, so that it becomes a mushy.
After that take four egg yolks, which have been beaten with cold broth,
and let it cook together.
136 A bread tart. Take white bread and grate it, take cream, stir it
together, so that it becomes thick like a pudding. Take six egg yolks,
beat them well and with spices thereon, put everything together in a
pastry shell, and bake it like other tarts.

The book contains the text from the four manuscripts and an English Translation. It does seem this Harpstrang cookbook maybe one of these four manuscripts

How to prepare a dish called White Mush.
One should take fresh milk, and well crushed wheat bread and a beaten egg and well ground saffron, and let it cook until it becomes thick. Then place it on a dish, and add butter, and sprinkle on powdered cinnamon. It is called "White Mush."
Redaction:
2 cups milk
.25 cups butter
2 eggs (slightly beaten)
.5 cups table sugar
1 tsp cinnamon (rounded)
.25 tsp salt
8 slices bread
red sugar sprinkles
Take milk and butter put them into a sauce pan. Cook on medium heat until butter has melted. Take beaten eggs and add the sugar, cinnamon, and salt to them, mix well. Dice the bread slices. Then fold the bread slices into the egg and spice mixture. Mix the egg mixture and the milk mixture in a casserole dish. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. After baking is finished take the red sprinkles and sprinkle across the top of the pudding crust.
Now I did add sugar to this recipe because I was looking to serve a sweet dish. The red sugar sprinkles on top was just to try to make it look a little more festive.

I served a Cherry Pudding from Pleyn Delit that might be what you are looking for? Recipe is included here:

Cherry Bread Pudding
2 cups stoned fresh or frozen cherries, or 20 ounce canned cherries drained
juice of 1/2 lemon (optional)
2 cups breadcrumbs (good quality bread with crust removed)
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup wine (preferably red), or 1/2 cup cherry wine plus 1/4 cup water or cherry juice from frozen or canned cherries
2 tbsp. butter
Blend or process all ingredents together. Either cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, or until pudding is well thickened, then pour into a serving dish; or put the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, or microwave for five minutes. May be served warm, chilled or at room temperature.
Forme of Cury (England, 1390) XVIII - FOR TO MAKE CHIRESEYE
Note: clowis of Gilofris referring to clove gilliflower, also known as the dianthus.
Sheila Marshall
This sounds similar except mine was a soup and not a pudding. I've thought of using this recipe thinned down and adding cinnamon but if I can find an actual period recipe I'd like to use it.
Christine Seelye-King
This is the recipe that is the poster child for "open to interpretation". I have seen it done half a dozen different ways over the years, from bread pudding to thick sauce to soup to slightly thinned cherry sauce. The original doesn't tell us how much wastrel brede to use, so everyone sees it the way they want to see it, or the way it goes best with the other dishes it is being served with. And given that, who is to say it wasn't manipulated in the same ways in historic kitchens?
Phil T Roy
I have always used the recipe listed under Syrosye (from one of the MS sources that predates Forme of Cury -- it's in Curye on Inglysch) and I see no really strong evidence that that recipe, at least, is for a very thick pottage -- it does not advise the cook to loke that it be stondyng, for instance. It also includes white grease, which, generally speaking, would resist congealing.
And I find the clove-pink gillyflower interpretation a little dubious. If it were the 16th century, I'd be more open to it, but this recipe seems to date from the 13th. So I have always done this as a somewhat thick soup seasoned with spice cloves, keeping it approximately the consistency of crepe batter, partly by personal preference/aesthetic, and partly for the reasons stated above.
Sheila Marshall
So for spices you use only a little clove? Keeping it as a soup sounds more like what I wish to do. Thanks.
Phil T Roy
Yes. IMO, the best evidence for its being a thick, pudding-like (in the modern sense) consistency is the instruction to stick it with cloves (either flowers or the spice -- as far as I know the OED believes the flower being called by that name seriously post-dates the recipe -- I strongly suspect it's one of those things someone said, and people heard, and repeat without checking on the 16th century aspect). I chose, given that there is no hugely compelling, specific reason why it should not be a lighter dish, to serve it thin, and because I did, I also abandoned, more or less gratuitously (the medieval equivalent of So Sue Me), the while cloves in favor of a light dusting of ground. I bet candied whole cloves would be wonderful, too.
Hey, where'd you eat this? Maybe it was me...
Yonnie Travis
While I hate to openly disagree with anyone, the clove gilliflower was a common medieval garden flower that appears to have served a similar role to roses. It is believed that the Dianthus, or clove gillyflower, was named by Theophrastus who combined the word for divine (dios) with flower (anthos). The double form of the flower wasn't known prior to the mid 1400's so it is assumed that they were cultivated to be that way, and by the 1600's the double form of the flower was commonly available. It is likely that this flower was used in liue of rent. The Annals of West Coker has a very interesting notation regarding this particular flower and it's use.
"There was another mill, already referred to in connexion with the Domesday entry, about one mile and a half higher up the Coker Water close to the boundary between East and West Coker parishes and just with the latter. It was part of an estate consisting of "a messuage, a mill, a carucate of land, ten acres of meadow and fifty shillings rent, in Estcoker, Westcoker, Hardyngton and Penne' which in 1292 was owned by John Burel and Emma his wife. In that year they granted the same to William Burel, who was witness to the grant to William de la Burtune above-mentioned, 'for life, to hold of them and the heirs of John, rendering yearly one clove gillylfower at Easter, and doing to the chiefe lords for them all other services'."
This passage clearly places the gillyflower in England prior to the Forme of Cury being written, it also highlights the importance of the flower itself.
Phil T Roy
All true. I am curious about the growing season (somewhere I recall reading that one harvests cherries around the Feast of St. John, which is June 24th), and how they (and/or the cherries) would have been preserved to coincide if, in fact, the seasons didn't match up. It's entirely possible the flowers are what is meant -- but what evidence is there that it is not the spice? Which one is named for the other? If I had to guess, the cultivar was precious because of its resemblance to the spice (which was undoubtedly considered precious).
As far as the possibility of disagreeing with me, all the best people do! This is not a fistfight, but a discussion on Truth. Sort of ;-). No werries.
Phil T Roy
Reading my comment above, I was perhaps unclear. I have not / would not question the existence of gillyflowers in England in the 12th and 13th centuries. What I am questioning, or, rather, perhaps let's just say asking, is what reason there is to believe that that is what the recipe calls for (and not the spice). As I recall it also calls for ginger.
My reference to the OED (of which I am living proof that the contents of a book written by committee and subject to frequent updating should not necessarily be taken as the ultimate authority, since at least one citation I provided them was recently added -- it's all very fluid) was just to point out that the OED, when you look up clove gillyflower, discusses the spice first and the flower second, and cites the first known written reference in English to said flower as, IIRC, 1583 CE.
So, again, we know of things like rose petal pottage whose recipes are fairly unequivocal; and we know flowers are pretty, and we have various other recipes calling for flowers. But most of them also call for spices. What evidence do we have to suggest this is not simply the same deal as sticking cloves in a baked ham?
The Annals quote is indeed interesting, but it's also [apparently] some 19th century person's interpretation of one or more period manuscripts, and many Victorian scholars are a bit shaky on the whole logic thing -- I'm involved in a project regarding dillegrout, the alleged traditional English Coronation dish, in which 19th century commentary on period documents which are in fact rather different from what those comments suggest, has created some real problems for the researcher, so I have some pretty strong prejudices against them, and so do a lot of other people.
As a result, my preference (and I will add it to my To Do List) is to find out exactly what the Domesday Book entry actually says.
Phil T Roy
It just occurred to me: Domesday entries are, generally speaking, in Latin, which adds an extra layer of doubt -- or at least questions -- to accepting what a 19th century Englishman's account, in modern English, says about clove gillyflowers being referred to in Domesday. Surely the author/scribe of the Domesday Book isn't going to break out of Latin to inform us about the role of gillyflowers in someone's fiefdom/sergeantcy. I would absolutely expect a reference to dianthus, but that's not really the question. It is quite a tantalizing conundrum, if you think about it...
Christine Seelye-King
I'm sticking with the idea that it means the spice. And cuskynoles are cut into pieces, and the egg is opened at the small end.

I haven't abandoned this list, but I haven't been posting either. This year has been real, but not nice.
Anyway, I have been preparing for the Feast of St. Golias on October 27th. It's St. Golias's 40th Anniversary and I'm doing a Cook's tour of four different cuisines from four different centuries. The second course is French 14th Century using Taillevent and Menagier. I'm using Tailliz de Karesne from Taillevent as one of the recipes.
Tailliz de Karesne: Lenten Slices. Grind skinned almonds very well in a mortar, then take lukewarm boiled water, steep the almonds, strain them and boil this milk on a few coals; take one- or two-day-old cracknels and cut them into small pieces the size of large dice; then take figs, dates and seedless grapes, cut up the figs and dates like the cracknels, and drop everything into the milk and let it become as thick as Frumenty, and add in sugar to boil with it; the almond milk should boil briefly. To give it colour you should use saffron to colour it the same as Frumenty. Salt it lightly
Quick Blender Almond Milk
Take 8 oz. (240 g.) blanched slivered almonds. Pulverize them in a blender. Add 2 cups (480 g.) boiling water. Liquefy them, holding down on the lid of the blender. (The pressure blowback can be spectacular and use a towel to hold the lid against the boiling water.) Strain the milk to remove any large particles. The almond use can be immediately or refrigerated for several days.
Tailliz de Karesne
Almond milk from the above recipe
Sugar 96 g (1/2 cup)
Figs 90 g (about 8 Turkish figs, 3/4 cup, diced)
Dates 90 g (3/4 cup, diced)
Raisins 90 g (3/4 cup)
2-3 slices of bread crust trimmed and diced (90-110 g)
Heat the almond milk in a sauce pan on the stovetop
Stir in the sugar
Bring to just boiling, reduce the heat.
Add figs, dates and raisins, then add the bread crumbs. Stir, mashing the bread crumbs to form a mush.
When the almond milk is absorbed, the mush can be served in individual dessert cups, or packed into small loaf pan or jelly roll pan to cool and jell. I use a little butter to grease the pans and facilitate removal.
When cool, the loaf or sheet can be removed from the pan and cut into slices.
This is a truly lovely bread pudding. Easy to make and tasty either hot or cold.
Enjoy.
