Well this looks delicious! Here's a toast to your amazing posts adding culinary delights to the menu of Wolf Crawl. Food is such a big part of the books, among other things it really brings the world to life. There are plenty more meals to come, so save room for pudding.
Thank you!! You brought this up in the first week - if someone might like to do food or clothes... and I thought I will try food, but did not expect a lot of it in the book. I should have had more faith 😂 you probably would not have mentionned it if there was nothing to find.
Of course not. Thurston already scolded me. Told me I got over-enthustiac because Lent has ended and there are not any meals for vegetarians. He said he will personally cook for them anything they want.
If it's OK, I'd add an additional Tuscan chef who could prepare a few extra dishes in honor of Crumbs italian years, e.g. bruschetta, pappa al pomodoro, a ribollita, perhaps riso al tartuffo, plus a bottle of Brunello or Montepulciano (which we'll empty to the health of our Grand Master Simon Haisell and you).
For dessert, I would recommend a Torta coi bischeri or a piece of Torta ai pinoli di San Rossore!
Definitely! What a brilliant idea to expand the business, they'll be beating down our doors. I feel like I'm in culinary heaven just reading this. (My cousin lived in Tuscany for a few years. It's so wonderful, the Tuscan cuisine, what good food I ate there., heavenly )
Thank you! The two Rattling Dukes are on their way, please have patience, it might take months for them to arrive although we use the Speed- Horse-Express postal service.
Thank you! I love the exchanges between Thurston and Cremuel, too- Thurston is one of my favorite characters in the book so far. I think he and Cranmer are the ones who you could call Cromwell´s friends, the only ones. The apron is on its way to you, I wear mine proudly in the kitchen! 👨🍳
This is just brilliant. I imagine Ms. Mantel reading this and howling! Poor More. Not only loses his head but his name gets struck off the menu! Thank you. So well done. Bravo!
Brilliant! I was very late to the WH party so have had a frantic month of catching up. Just pleased to see there’s some food left on the table. Thank you for this and really looking forward to BUTB at the right pace...will mean less indigestion I think.

Yes! I love that part! As if no one surmised…🙈
This time around it stood out to me that Alice more wanted to bake Gregor cromwell in a sugar crust and eat him all up. Poor poor Alice
And poor Gregory! 😁
love the quotes. one last toast to little Anne Cromwell who stole my heart.
I would have loved to see Anne (and Grace) to grow up😢, liked Ann so much, too
Hope this is buffet style
Will ask Thurston if a buffet might be possible regarding the main courses! The desserts and salads are buffet style.
Being a vegetarian, I would rather not have Chicken a la Anne Boleyn! 🐥
Of course not. Thurston already scolded me. Told me I got over-enthustiac because Lent has ended and there are not any meals for vegetarians. He said he will personally cook for them anything they want.
😍
That was delightful! A toast to you!!
Thank you! 🥂❤
Andrea, I am overwhelmed! What a celebration!

I love this and I’ll take two Rattling Dukes, please. The quotes at the end are also delicious and spot on!

A toast to you for this Andrea, cracker of a last WH post.
And yes to a Thurston apron - Love the exchanges between Thurston & TC.

You are AMAZING Andrea!
Thank you very much, that is very kind of you! 🥂❤
You are quite welcome. I was approaching it from an ‘honesty’ tangent. 😉
Amazing!
May I request Stewed Rabbit in a Pot a la Harry Percy and his Lawful Wife Anne Boleyn?
It is already simmering in the pot, but Thurston says it still needs some more time and thanks you for patience in advance! 🐰
Brilliant - and tantalising! I especially like the Thomas no More dishes 🥹
Ah, that would have been the perfect name 'Thomas no more"!
This is just brilliant. I imagine Ms. Mantel reading this and howling! Poor More. Not only loses his head but his name gets struck off the menu! Thank you. So well done. Bravo!
Thank you very much! I thought the books are getting darker and darker, so a bit of fun might be needed.
Fabulous! I’ll take 10 of your rattling dukes please’😄
Thank you! And thank you for the order, but please don't complain afterwards if you've cut your teeth on the Rattling Duke. He is pretty tough!
Wonderful! I laughed out loud at the Rattling Duke. And I'm going to need one of those shirts.
Thank you! Everyone in the Cromwell house is right now stitching shirts, if they are not in Thurston´s kitchen.
Brilliant! I was very late to the WH party so have had a frantic month of catching up. Just pleased to see there’s some food left on the table. Thank you for this and really looking forward to BUTB at the right pace...will mean less indigestion I think.
Thank you! Wonderful, that you caught up and are as ready as me for Bring up the bodies. I fear it will be a book that is hard to digest...
I’m very glad my bloke is cooking our meal as this made me hungry! Still chuckling at a marzipan Gardiner 🤣🤣🤣
😂 Ah, finally some love for our Marzipan Gardiner!!
