So...do we have an actual recipe for Horse Bread anywhere? I know the ingredients, just not the specifics.Does anyone know of any Baking Guild ordinances that address the making of horse bread in 15th c England, France, or the Low Countries? Jenn PS: I've already read the previous thread, but we didn't get to an actual recipe. [ 02-17-2005: Message edited by: Fire Stryker ] -------------------- ad finem fidelis

I did find one reference, but not from the time period or countries you are looking for. It is, oddly enough, from the New World, which doesn't help much. quote:
"NO Hostler or Inholder shall make his Horse-bread within his Hostery, but Bakers shall make it; and the Assize shall be kept, and the weight be reasonable, after the price of Corn in the Market adjoyning; and they shall sell their Horse-bread, Hay, Oats, Beans, Pease, Provender, and all kind of Victuals, both for Man and Beast, at reasonable gain, having respect to what the same shall be sold for in the Market adjoyning, without taking any thing for Litter."
(Dalton's the country justice, 1690 Chap. 56. 57. Archives of Maryland

I did also come across this link but I have yet to decide what I think about some of the conclusions drawn. And again, the cited references are post 15th century but it might point you in a useful direction.Horse Bread [ 02-17-2005: Message edited by: Angelique ] -------------------- Dahlin', this can't be real emergency, I only brought one bottle of bourbon and one bottle of Tabasco...

Thanks Angelique. Yep, I've seen Linda's site. She's usually very good about citing and notation.I came across a web site in Belgium yesterday for the Museum of Old Techniques. The mention of horsebread actually came up on their section of how to bake bread in a bee hive oven. I will probably touch base with them and see if they have any continental references. Jenn
