Wheatlet, son of Milklet,
Son of juicy Bacon,
Is mine own name.
Honeyed Butter-roll
Is the man’s name
That bears my bag.
Haunch of Mutton
Is my dog’s name,
Of lovely leaps.
Lard, my wife,
Sweetly smiles
Across the kale-top.
Cheese-curds, my daughter,
Goes round the spit,
Fair is her fame.
Corned Beef, my son,
Whose mantle shines
Over a big tail.
Savour of Savours
Is the name of my wife’s maid:
Morning-early
Across New-milk Lake she went.
Beef-lard, my steed,
An excellent stallion,
That increases studs;
A guard against toil
Is the saddle of cheese
On his back.
When a cheese-steed is sent after him
Rapid his course,
Fat … is on his ribs,
Exceeding all shapes.

Recipe inspired by How the Irish Saved Civilization. During medieval feasts an Irish Lord would show off his library by reproducing dishes from antiquity. The accuracy of those dishes may have had some creative interpretation. (Does that mean the SCA itself is period?)
How the Irish Saved Civilization: by Thomas Cahill
De Re Coquinaria of Apicius
published by Walter M. Hill, 1936 (Public Domain)
Pullum Particum recipe in Latin:
Apicius 6.9.2: Pullum Parthicum: pullum aperies a naui et in quadrato ornas. teres piper, ligusticum, carei modicum. suffunde liquamen. uino temperas. componis in Cumana pullum et condituram super pullum facies. laser et uinum interdas. dissolues et in pullum mittis simul et coques. piper aspersum inferes.
237 Chicken Parthian Style
Pullum Parthicum1
Dress the chicken carefully2 and quarter it. Crush pepper, lovage and a little carraway3 moistened with broth, and add wine to taste. After frying place the chicken in an earthen dish,4 pour the seasoning over it, add laser and wine.5 Let it assimilate with the seasoning and braise the chicken to a point. When done sprinkle with pepper and serve.
1 Lister is of the opinion that the pullus Parthicus is a kind of chicken that came originally from Asia, Parthia being a country of Asia, the present Persia and northern India, a chicken of small size with feathers on its feet, i.e., a bantam.
2 Pluck, singe, empty, wash, trim. The texts: a navi. Hum. hoc est, à parte posteriore ventris, qui ut navis cavus & figurae ejus non dissimile est. Dan. takes this literally, but navo (navus) here simply means “to perform diligently.”
3 Tor. casei modicum; List. carei — more likely than cheese.
4 Cumana — an earthenware casserole excellent for that purpose.
5 G.‑V. laser [et] vivum.
