This is a list of food suitable for [[potluck feast]]s. Most of them are available from your local shop, and don't require cooking. If you feel like cooking, consult period [[recipes]]. |
|||
*period [[Fruit]]s |
|||
**[[apple]] |
|||
**[[orange]] |
|||
**[[grape]]s |
|||
**strawberries |
|||
**many more less common varieties listed under [[fruit]] |
|||
*[[Dried fruit]]s and [[nut]]s |
|||
**almost any fruit was dried ([[apple]], [[pear]], [[sultana]]s, dates, [[fig]]s...) |
|||
**Most nuts (other than [[peanut]]s, and [[cashew]]s) are period |
|||
*[[cheese]] |
|||
*[[pie]]s |
|||
**[[fruit pie]]s - Look in that supermarket freezer for apple, pear, apricot or berry pies, but if it's a cold day, ''please'' defrost them. A period example: [[Pear tart (recipe)]] |
|||
**quiche - there are several period [[tart]]s that resemble a heavily spiced quiche - e.g. [[Ember Day Tart(recipe)]]. Try for a plain quiche without tomato in it, please. |
|||
**large [[meat]] pies, preferably with other ingredients (not potato), e.g. a period pie with meat and berries [[Caneline Beef Pie(recipe)]] |

*[[bread]] (remember that the [[autocrat]] often supplies some) |
|||
*roast [[chicken]] - hot or cold (but be careful of [[food safety]]) |
|||
*cut cold meats |
|||
*some dips |
|||
**[[hommus]] |
|||
**chives and onion??? |
|||
*[[salad]] - was made up of herbs and general leafy stuff, including flowers and sometimes chopped fruit. Salad mix may not be a bad approximation to some period salads. |
|||
*sweet buns - e.g. glazed sultana buns |
|||
*almond cake (look at the gourmet Italian coffee cakes in the supermarket) |
|||
*shortbread |
|||
*Angel's food - a sweet dip that goes well with biscotti or shortbread style biscuits. [[Angels food (recipe)]] |
