? On the subject of Christmas food - mince meat (as opposed to minced meat) use to have meat in it. https://blog.lboro.ac.uk/news/christmas/christmas-mince-pye-made-the-17th-century-way-with-meat/. Years back when we were re-enacting we made one from Hannah Wolley's cook book. It was alright - less sweet and a bit chewy. Sweet plus sweet and sour meat dishes used to be common in English cookery.

Hi Carro,
I had read that! Still rather confusing when I first came across mincemeat and had only ever known it as minced meat ;) Your re-enacting sounds amazing - how cool to recreate those old recipes!

Just wanted to say I've really enjoyed the Gobbelin London books. When is the next one planned? I'm currently reading Yule be Sorry as needed some light reading and do enjoy the descriptions of the different houses and the food. Oh, and kudos in particular for calling a book Game of Scones. Have you seen the original video on YouTube of a cat "singing" the theme music? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEg4SEch27w

Not a question, but I'm now reading the Beaufort Scales books again starting from "The Tales of Beaufort Scales." I'm American and I need a refresher course; besides I know reading all the books again will be very pleasant. And maybe by the time I read them all again, maybe I'll be able to get book 7. Thank you for writing such interesting books. And I love the dragons! Is book 7 available now?
