For 2 weeks now I have been trying to write a post about green pudding. This is a funny little boiled cake recipe that I want to do at the Forty Hall demonstration. It tastes nice or at least it will taste nicer next time with less nutmeg and more sugar. It is easy to make and comes out a bright green colour. The colour comes from spinach, and when I manage to grow some, marigolds as well. This adds a little bit to the flavour. What I like about the recipe is that boiling the cake means you can make them without an oven. i might even try them next time I am camping.
Unfortunately, every time I try to load a picture to Blogger, it crashes my computer. I have put the photo of the finished product up here:

So the main point of my post is to ask a question. If you were going to a historical food demonstration would you rather taste the food exactly as the recipe states (as far this is possible), even though it is really horrible, or would you rather have the flavours toned down and balanced for a modern palate so you can actually eat it?
