Pavlova.

Wait, no sugar. Fuck that era.

What the fuck is the point, then?

>>16068052
they had sugar back then

Big sloppa

She can rotissery a chicken while you do other stuff. Or like baste a roast, do prep stuff, etc.

>>16068082
Well I am gonna need her to give aid to my dick or I won't feel like cooking.

>>16068082
chicken guy has the right idea. chicken iirc was a rich people food because no one wants to eat their egg laying animals
probably load that shit up with so many spices/flavors that it makes your eyes water. they liked that shit back then

We repeatedly perform the milk bean miracle with all its magical illusions alongside the worship of Hathor

French fries. It's actually amazing how recently fries were invented relative to how long potatoes have been a staple of the European diet

>>16068099
No potatoes before the discovery of the new world

>>16068042
I guess I'd make some of the mother sauces and mayonnaise. I couldn't make anything with tomatoes and I figure using olive oil and eggs to make something few people if any had seen before would lend me some credibility. I suppose I could make pearl ash and use that as a chemical leavener for things like breads and cakes, but I'd have to make it first. Fun fact, the first US patent was for a primitive form of baking powder

>>16068042
Fried chicken with seaweed extracted msg

>>16068108
In that case, it'll really blow their mind lol

>>16068042
I would escape in the middle of the night and use my knowledge to gain favor somewhere else. Being a cook in the modern age sucks, but doing it in the middle ages sounds like a fucking nightmare.

It sounds much better than having to farm day in and day out.

>>16068042
I'd make lobster with butter and lobster rolls.
Lobster was plentiful and considered peasant food (I assume because they didnt know how to make it tasty, more than because it was cheap)

ranch and onion rings and fuck you I'll have funny business with the aide.

>>16068042
Unironically novel shit like cake pops, or those sugar animals the chinese make would be very impressive for the time. Also anything espresso related if you could make a primitive Flair and a steamer.

>>16068042
BMT on wheat, no cheese, toasted, with onions, spinach, and banana peppers, throw on some oregano and pepper, finish with just a little chipotle southwest.

>>16068064
yeah, but it wasn't homogenized

>>16068099
I hope you like deep frying in lard

>>16068096

>>16068253
Wtf does that even mean?

Ice Cream

>>16068042
Clean water.

>>16068253
I ain't no faggot who needs homo sugar

>>16068117
Court cooks actually had it pretty good, especially if you were a head chef. By the 1700's you were basically a low tier noble because you managed the catering and entertainment for the king/duke.

A lamprey pye and some lark's tongues, all washed down with pints of wine.

im making some pound cake and pounding the aides cake and you cant stop me

>>16068042
Introduce people to mayonnaise and spice it heavily and add vinegar.

>>16068088
>probably load that shit up with so many spices/flavors that it makes your eyes water
"enough spices to make your eyes water" by their standards would be moderately well seasoned by our standards
we've become accustomed to more intense flavors than they would have experienced as part of their regular lives

>>16068042
>What do you make to impress people?
nothing because the food they made back then was way more exotic and tastier than most modern idiots could make.

>>16068253
>yeah, but it wasn't homogenized
didn't you mean refined?

I don't know, i'd guess stuff like Hamburgers, Brigadeiros, Marshmellow, Salt Pancakes, Fries, Fried Crepes, Churros, that kind of stuff

It really depends on 'when' in the medieval ages.

>>16068042
Smoked BBQ, they'd be missing a lot of modern spices and ingredients, but with simply salt, pepper, beef, and wood you can make something like they've never experienced. (Yes I know they smoked meat back then but ancient preservation smoking was very different than modern BBQ smoking)

>>16068042
I'd just become a baker. I'd say I'd make pizza but no tomatoes so I'd be making some white pizzas or things like that, and most likely with goat cheeses since I doubt anyone was really making buffalo mozzarella, so maybe I wouldn't blow anyone's mind.

I would make whatever food the royals wanted to but I would also make sure to hide copious amounts of semen (my own) into the meals

>>16068088
You wouldn't eat hens rather you would eat a caponized rooster. Still a luxury food, even today. Capons need to be kept alive longer and given more feed. I think near the end of their lives they need to also be gutloaded with corn mash, bread, and milk.

>>16068295
This, or canning.
Food preservation would be a game changer. Medieval armies would love preserved, portable food. Even Napoleon offered a prize for food preservation

>>16069453
>pepper
very expensive in those times.

>>16068042
I don't think I would be able to, the ingredient list was so much shorter and a lot of foods they used to eat would be unfamiliar to me. I'd be completely lost
