And now ladies for tonight's recipe.

  • Add Viking, Anglo-Saxon and Norman to taste.

  • Spice it up with a dash of Roman, yum-yum.

  • Bring to a boil about 1300 and

  • Slowly lower the heat, to simmer over the next 700 years.

  • Serve piping hot with a large glass of Single malt Scotch and …
