Cockentrice
- 1 half rooster, boiled
- 1 half pig, boiled
- 2 cups bread stuffing
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 Tbsp ginger
- 1/2 Tbsp ginger
- 1/2 Tbsp saffron
- some gold foil
Sew animal halves together. Fill body cavity with bread stuffing. Glaze with egg yolks, ginger, and saffron. Roast or turn on spit until cooked through. Cover in gold foil and serve to royal guests.
Optional: Sew remaining halves of the rooster and pig together and serve to non-royal guests.
A lot of dishes in the Middle Ages were created simply to delight the upper class. So chow down. I'm sure you'll feel like royalty afterwards.
