\"4786d69012ebe86981e88208cea20d03\"<\/a>If you are following my progress on the Historic Food and Feasting course, you’ll know that I am\u00a0now up to Week 4 on this blog. We’ve looked at the sort of foods eaten during\u00a0the reigns of Henry VIII<\/a>, Elizabeth I<\/a> and George I<\/a>, the latter including the introduction and rise of chocolate<\/a>. This week is the turn of George III. Yes, the mad one \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

George was not a well man, suffering from bouts of madness (porphyria), when he wasn’t allowed to use a knife and fork for fear he might harm himself, so his diet consisted of dishes that could be eaten with a spoon, e.g., \u00a0soups and jellies. In addition to this, he was a man who liked plain food, unlike his predecessors, so he was known as the frugal king. In reality, the frugality was somewhat relative and from what I have seen of the cuisine of this period, it was actually quite rich, with a lot of butter, cream and eggs.<\/p>\n

This week’s recipes included Barley Soup<\/em>, which was fairly plain and simple, but I really didn’t fancy it since it is far too warm for soup. The additional recipes were for Asparagus Rolls<\/em> and Spritzen<\/em>, a kind of muffin. I’m quite partial to asparagus, so here’s my effort:<\/p>\n

\"Asparagus<\/a>

Asparagus Rolls<\/p><\/div>\n

Quite a simple dish of cooked asparagus in a savoury custard, served in scooped out and fried french rolls. I haven’t bothered posting the full recipe\u00a0but if you want it, just ask. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We are currently experiencing a heatwave so I haven’t had a chance to do the Spritzen either. I’ll catch up with those at a later date.<\/p>\n

That’s all for this week, folks. In the next post I’ll be sharing my Victorian efforts and some recipes that will be rather more familiar.<\/p>\n
