Now I want to know what that is he’s eating. Some medieval dish?

This is kind of unrelated, but you may be interested in this lecture transcript by a former opponent of genetically modified foods and his conversion. It is interesting as much for the example it provides of faulty thinking as it is for the information about the food.

I am reliably informed that His Majesty King Richard, by the Grace of God King of England, Duke of Normandy, Duke of Aquitaine, Duke of Gascony, Lord of Cyprus, Count of Anjou, Count of Maine, Count of Nantes, and Overlord of Brittany, feasted magnificently on pork cut straight from a whole roasted hog and bean salad, washed down with fine English mead, and wines plundered from the French.
My sources were unable to confirm or deny whether serving wenches were present.
