| How do you imagine medieval cuisine? It would be a
mistake
to think of it as without fantasy or variety. Surviving
documents tell us, for example, that when the Sienese
nobleman Francesco di Messer Sozzo di Bandinello
Bandinelli
was named "knight" in 1326, a magnificent banquet was
prepared in the Campo Square, on Christmas Eve.
A variety of dishes, including "confetti" (a special kind of cake), "giengevo" (probably a ginger dish) and "bromangieri" (soup, pasta or a rice dish) were served as startes. Many types of bread and wine in great quantity accompanied the main courses: roasted beef, wild boar, deer, hares, capons, partridges, peacocks and pheasants. The banquet ended with marzipan cakes and sweets. The Gallo Nero Restaurant offers a wide selection of dishes which are a faithful reconstruction of the recipies found in medieval cookbooks. |
