Hey, psssst! Does anyone care for some... fake roast venison? It's medieval! And super, super sweet! Aaand it is fancy - it brings it's own BLING! (I mean gilded almonds! Whoa!) And basically it's vegan, because it is a christian Lenten dish from the 1. printed German Cookbook from 1485. Have a look at it (and at my fail during cooking this. 😅). Experimental archaeology in action.

Fake roast venison: Rechproten in der vasten – a sweet medieval Lenten dish from 15th cent. Germany

YouTube

Being a good Christian and still wanting to show off your wealth? This is how it worked in the Middle Ages: "Rechproten in der vasten" is a recipe for fake roast venison. Basically a sweet, vegan Lenten dish from dried fruits, spices, wine and rolls - expensive ingredients at this time. It's a recipe from the first printed German-language cookbook "Kuchemeysterey" from 1485 .
