I use two main references, Prof Ronald Hutton's book 'Stations of the Sun: A history of the Ritual Year in Britain' and Colin Spencer's book A History of British Food. Recipes I glean from all over and I credit where I get them from if they are non traditional. Other sources come from the Morrab Library in Penzance which is afabulous subscription library which is right on my doorstep.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045660787350825648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559862206054673677.post-52297107254447654022010-08-03T20:58:22.571+01:002010-08-03T20:58:22.571+01:00I enjoy reading about the history of foods and eat...I enjoy reading about the history of foods and eating.

You can probably tell I've been a regular non church goer since childhood! I also now understand why all the bakers on Twitter have been asking each other what they are baking for Lammas. The Rev Hawker was a real case - didn't he dress up as a mermaid to attract tourists?Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559862206054673677.post-7751498967254216922010-08-02T07:09:57.003+01:002010-08-02T07:09:57.003+01:00That's really interesting, I didn't know i...That's really interesting, I didn't know it was called that.
