I followed your link on bread fraud (thinking of Silver Pigs -- just the sort of thing M. Didius Falco would have been looking into), and read the bottom paragraph:
“ Check out Fabulous Feasts: Medieval Cookery and Ceremony by Madeleine Pelner Cosman for a whole chapter on food laws as they existed in about 1400. Plus the color plates are fantastic. ”
Big grin. And then I commented:
“ I know what you mean about Fabulous Feasts, and I agree completely. Dr. Cosman was my professor for Old English at CCNY. She was an amazing woman and an amazing scholar. ”
