One of the coolest websites with 'Medieval' recipes that we came across on the internet is by far The Inn at the Crossroads. You can find all kinds of recipes from GOT on this website and that's where today's recipe comes from as well, with some minor adjustments.
It also includes recipes from other popular series, such as Firefly and Starwars - snazzie favorites as well! Or from World of Warcraft, a world famous online role playing game. Author of the website Chelsea has even published cookbooks with recipes from all these series.
