Show An Ancient Christmas Dish. An indispensable Christmas dish of ancient times was "frumenty" ol "fruniante." Here is the recipe fof making the dish according to a faithful faith-ful old chronicler: "Take clean wheat and bray it In a mortar until the hulls be all gone off, and seethe it until it burst, and take it up and let it cool ; and take clean, fresh broth and sweet milk of almonds or sweet milk of klne and temper it all ; and take the yolks of eggs. Boil it a little and set it down and mess it forth with fat venison veni-son or fresh mutton." Frumenty was often served alone without venison or mutton. When served by itself it was well sweetened. |
