Another set of recipes from Philippine Welser’s collection:

94 If you want to make wafer fritters (mandatten baches)
Take almonds and grind or pound them small and see they do not turn oily. Moisten them with rosewater in a timely fashion. Then put in sugar so it turns nicely sweet and grind or pound it well together. Then take wafers and spread this on them, not too thick, otherwise it will not rise. Spread it in the middle (?hergatt) so it turns out smooth. Then cover one wafer with another and press it closed firmly at the edges with rosewater. Cut them as large as you wish, and do not make the almond filling (dayg) too thin. Then prepare a yellow batter with water, pour it on a plate, and dip the wafers into it along the edges, not too deep. Fry them nicely, not too hot so they stay white, and lay them out on a sieve, no other place, otherwise they drop down. Shake the pan when you put them in until they rise.
95 If you want to fry filled wafers
Take apples and cut thin slices from them. Dust them with flour and fry them well. Then put them into a mortar and pound them well, and take them out into a pan. Add a raisin/grape sauce (wein draube seltz) and set it over the fire. Sugar and spice it as you please and stir it a while over the fire, that way it gains colour. Spread it on the wafers and fry them quickly.
96 If you want to make wafer fritters from an electuary (aus latt wery)
Take electuary, slice it and soften it in good wine. Take a little cherry sauce and add sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Pound it or stir it together well. Make it nicely spicy (res), spread it on the wafers, dip them in a yellow batter along the edges and fry the quickly. This is healthy and good.
Wafers, thin and crisp, were used as a base of marzipan, almond cookies, and fritters in medieval Germany. They are usually then known as Oblaten (as they still are), a name hinting at their origin in Christian ritual. This recipe knows them as mandatten, but otherwise it is not unusual at all. There are again numerous parallels, including one I tried out a while ago. These are larger and only dipped in batter along the edges, others were smaller and dipped into batter entire. Fillings could vary, though fruit confections and almonds are the most common.
Here, we have three distinct fillings. The first recipe calls for what is basically a thin almond paste. The second is a little hardewr to interpret, but it basically is a confection of cooked apple and what sounds like a raisin-based sauce to me (but could be one made with fresh grapes). The third is made from an electuary, which was a thick paste of fruit cooked with honey or sugar. It is dissolved in wine and mixed with cherry sauce, another popular ingredient of the age, to produce a sweet, fruity, and probably quite overpowering filling.
I have poited this out before, but it bears repeating: The fritter culture of South Germany is varied and long-lived, and this particular type is found nearly unchanged in Katharina Prato’s very influential Süddeutsche Küche (quoting from the 50th edition, Vienna 1912):
Oblaten-Krapferl (wafer fritters). With wine batter. Cut wafers into rounds, brush them with egg, fill each two and two with cherry flesh, dip them in wine batter, fry them in fat and strew them with sugar.
With choux paste: You place small heaps of firm rosehip sauce (Hagebuttensalse) on wafers cut square, cover them with wafers cut to the same shape, and only press them together slightly in the middle so that a space remains between the wafers where there is no sauce. Dip the four corners of the wafers into choux paste thinned with eggs to fill the interstices and fry them in fat. The sauce should shine red through the yellowish cooked wafer, the edges be light brown.
Philippine Welser (1527-1580), a member of the prominent and extremely wealthy Welser banking family of Augsburg, was a famous beauty of her day. Scandalously, she secretly married Archduke Ferdinand II of Habsburg in 1557 and followed him first to Bohemia, then to Tyrol. A number of manuscripts are associated with her, most famously a collection of medicinal recipes and one of mainly culinary ones. The recipe collection, addressed as her Kochbuch in German, was most likely produced around 1550 when she was a young woman in Augsburg. It may have been made at the request of her mother and was written by an experienced scribe. Some later additions, though, are in Philippine Welser’s own hand, suggesting she used it.
The manuscript is currently held in the library of Ambras Castle near Innsbruck as PA 1473 and was edited by Gerold Hayer as Das Kochbuch der Philippine Welser (Innsbruck 1983).

Following a recipe in the book FWSY for Pain De Campagne and have a question about why we create so much levain (1000g, using only 360g and discarding 640g). The recipe begins by using 100g of starter and adding 900g of water and flour to create a 1000g levain. Let sit for 8 hours for it to eat away at the nutrients. Then create a dough with 800g flour and 620 water, autolyse, add salt and a bit of yeast. Then combine the dough and levain but adding only 360g of the 1000g levain (discarding the rest). Fold, shape, proof, and bake.
So why create a 1000g levain if we are going to only use 360g of it? I suspect that we are just adding way more nutrients to the levain than needed so it will not ever run out of nutrients to eat before we incorporate into the dough? But if that's the case, then why not create a 360g levain and shorten the fermentation time of the levain from 8hrs to something much shorter so that it still has room to run and you aren't creating so much discard? I'm sure I'm missing something and not understanding the real reason for it. Thoughts?

In the Germs Abound Quest from Mike I’m supposed to upgrade my watering can “with Mike’s potion”, which I did - but it didn’t work. It still says to upgrade it & I don’t have the potion in my inventory (& no, it’s not in any chests or sitting anywhere in the valley or my inventory)

I'm sure everyone has seen at least one of these flyers, but who has ordered and tried these types of food services? I'm sure there are more online food services, but I get these in the mail often. I'm wondering—is it worth it? Normally, I go to a grocery store such as Sobeys, so I'm unsure if an online food service is for me. It might help with my busy schedule, but I am concerned about the food quality. I want to ensure it's good quality. Any recommendations on a good delivery food service would be greatly appreciated

Buenas querida gente,
Este será su thread semanal para recomendaciones de comida (ya sea en restaurantes, comida callejera o recetas (pongan links o cuentas de Instagram)) y los lugares donde pueden ir a probarla.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello dear people,
This will be your weekly thread for food recommendations (either restaurants, street food o,r recipes (post links or Instagram accounts)) and the places where you can go to try them.

What can I say? I love this man. I have all his books and have watched him since young. He taught me how to love food, despite of food and bad memories. I decided to cook this meal because it reminds me of a happier time. My hubby and I ate this similar meal when we first got engaged in 2017.
I love and miss his unapologetic opinions. The story teller of our time!!

I’m new to sourdough and can’t tell if this is overproofed.
The recipe is the lemon and herb loaf from The Perfect Loaf. I modified it to include more rye flour: - 420g white flour - 200g rye flour - 425g water - 12g sea salt - 135g levain - 5.5g herb de Provence - 1.5g lemon zest
Mix the flours, water, levain and salt and mix/strengthen dough then add herb and lemon zest. Bulk fermentation for about 4 hours with 2 folds. Shaped and cold proof in the fridge for 15 hours. Bake next day for 55 mins at 410 degrees. Cool for 1.5 hours before cutting
Thoughts?
