Secrets From The Royal Family’s Oldest Surviving Cookbook | Richard II's Cookbook

Self-confessed medieval foodie Clarissa Dickson Wright tracks down Britain's oldest known cookbook, The Forme of Cury. This 700-year-old scroll was written during the reign of King Richard II from recipes created by the king's master chefs. How did this ancient manuscript influenced the way people eat today? On her culinary journey through medieval history she reawakens recipes that have lain dormant for centuries and discovers dishes that are still prepared now.
From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

I would love to see more documentaries like this on other ancient cookbooks and recipes

[@tarantulady8565]

I love Clarissa Dickson Wright and I thoroughly enjoyed watching her and Jennifer Paterson on “Two Fat Ladies”! I was sad to hear it when she passed & I’m glad to see her again, here.

[@capbaby75]

I remember that show absolutely loved it

[@marydelong3926]

Also enjoyed Two fat ladies, also sad to hear about Jennifer. The show was very entertaining.

[@machpodfan]

Likewise! The two Fat Ladies are my number one favorites for the cooking show genre, what amazing unique personalities and talent!

[@tarantulady8565]

@@machpodfan Indeed. I’m so glad they made a show together & were able to capture their personalities & cooking styles on video. They worked well together & obviously enjoyed each other’s company a lot. Great stuff! Gotta admit…I’m still looking for a source near to me for veal kidneys to make Jennifer’s “deviled kidneys”. Weird recipe, yes…but intriguing. 😁

porpoise Is dolphin yes? I don't have my glasses but I think that is what's being said. Please don't eat it if so. :) I sat in a restaurant as a kid and dolphin was still on the menu in Florida when i travelled there. Just wrong. If it is something different, please tell me because Google keeps sending me to Popeyes chicken lol

[@ShellyS2060]

@amylee3531 there is a fish called dolphin (also known as mahi-mahi) it is a fish. Porpoise are a marine mammal, like a whale. If you ate dolphin in Florida you ate a fish. So no worries. However, there is no real way of telling what was eaten in the middle age. I do think it may have been the mammal.

[@jodirauth8847]

It's a copy

[@shadmtmtn1603]

Great about the food knowledge, not so sure about the documentary ! Why did you choose such an androgyn character to play the king ? Why everyone has clothes going up to the neck when he is nearly naked torso ? This documentary learned me less about food and royalty than about the sexual tastes of its director 🤢

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

get your sleeves out of the food

[@SomeBuddy777]

@Anna Anna Long sleeves in the kitchen NO NO NO 😱

[@blueneptune825]

Richard is the king who came up with the idea to have people call him "Highness". Modest little fella.

[@amylee3531]

"He was a Flamboyant dresser that likes to be *alone* in his room." Me: "gay." Which has been debated since he was alive. Eta: I am always shocked when I hear people eating fish/eels from the Thames River throughout the UK(even today) Even if you don't know bacteria is bad, you think by the smell of human urine and feces, they would have realized eating fish from that water they were draining human/animal sewage into- was bad for you. Maybe that's why the king had his own ponds of fish.

I already spoke about the hand situation on Janet Finer's comment. But, why wouldn't they publish this in cookbook formation is beyond me! Here in America, we even published a Williamsburg (first capital) cookbook. Many of the recipes come from England. This would make a great deal of money for the British! I know I would buy it.

[@janetfinerfrock2522]

If they are looking at the original written manuscript of the cookbook, why are they not wearing the white gloves that librarians and historians wear to protect historic documents and photos??

[@lilymarinovic1644]

Over the past few years there has been an opinion that gloves might actually contribute to damage, for example by making tearing more likely. Either that or it's a reproduction or something.

[@janetfinerfrock2522]

@@lilymarinovic1644 Thank you for your reply, Lily. Yes, I can see the gloves may cause damage and make tearing more likely.

[@ande100]

It is very likely to be a replica.

[@lisalarosa4546]

No replica. But, I do think wearing gloves are better. The dirt (even if your hands are washed) and oily skin cells, can leave more damage. I worked at the "National Archives," in Washington D.C. , and definitely know this!

[@fabledfantasty7343]

@@lisalarosa4546 If you really did work there, you would know that it has been proven, that wearing gloves is no longer accepted when handling such documents! The other give away that you don't work there is, 1st you said that you "THINK", then you stated that you "DEFINITELY KNOW THIS"

[@lindabehrend5496]

Why in the world are you TOUCHING this document???

[@Jazzzzyyyy__]

It’s been recently discovered that wearing gloves leads to tears. The safest way to handle old texts now is with very clean very dry hands

[@aimeefriedman822]

I was thinking, could it be covered in something? I've never seen that either.

[@ande100]

When You look very closely in the left side of the screen, You can see a sharp change in color of the "document". This is most likely a copy of the original as to allow repeated opening, rolling and closing.

[@deadmanswife3625]

Needing to have gloves on to handle paper artifacts is outdated. Doesn’t do much. Clean hands and knowing how to handle are all that’s necessary.

Not the protocol anymore as it was proven that gloves can cause more damage than clean dry hands

[@Garvin285]

The reason why they touch this manuscript like that is because it's a BRITISH cookbook. And we definitely don't want to preserve anything british came up with in regards to food.
