Dear Lowlanders,

Those of you who are interested in older language varieties *and* in
cooking (and/or eating) will have a field day or two with the following
online sources:

Keukenboek
(UB Gent Hs. 1035, 15th century, Middle Dutch)
(http://staff-www.uni-marburg.de/~gloning/serrure.htm)

A lovely sample for those of you who like to eat swan neck and head:

"Den hals van den swane -- suldi snijden al omtrent
tfel bi den scouderen, ende treckent uut metten hoofde, maect
een faerzel van swijnen vlessche ghesoden met xii eyeren,

A Middle Low Saxon (Low German) Cookbook (15th century)
http://staff-www.uni-marburg.de/~gloning/mndk.htm

A sample: a "good, dry" vinegar made from crab apples and sloe berries
(! sounds like it would make your teeth feel _slee_):

"Item wyltu maken eynen guden etick van watere, so nym slen unde
holteppel. Brick se aff twysschen beyden vrowendaghen yn deme hervest,
jomer mëer jo lever. Stot se cleyne in eyneme moser. Make darüet klumpe
also wuste, legge se up brede unde sette se yn eynen heten backoven, dar
brot yn ghebacken sy, unde lat se darynne stan so lange, also de oven
warm ys. So ys dat eyn gud droghe etyck."

"Muscules in Shelle. ¶ Take and pike faire musculis, And cast hem in a
