I'm doing a College class on Ancient Foods. My focus is on Honey like the different recipes and usages in Medieval era. I found like a couple recipes, a thing on religious relation ("Milk and Honey of Paradise") /Crusades, medicinal use, and possibly bees/beeswax because I was struggling to get something.

Y'all have any recommendations?

(I've brought Zoe in on this one; the following is a collaborative effort. Also I'm assuming you have access to your university library so you can get ahold of the cited material below quickly and for free.)

Can you include beverages? Honey is the main ingredient in mead, which should give you a lot to talk about. Susan Verberg is the premier researcher on medieval mead, and has some excellent works on both mead making and honey production. She has a website at https://medievalmeadandbeer.wordpress.com/ where you can find both her formal publications and her blog.

If you do want to talk about beverages, there were other medieval drinks that used honey. Some citations for you:

Breeze, Andrew. “What Was ‘Welsh Ale' in Anglo-Saxon England?” Neophilologus, vol. 88, no. 2, 2004, pp. 299–301.

Fell, Christine E. “Old English ‘Beor’." Leeds Studies in English, vol. 8, 1975, pp. 76-95.

You can also go into cultural symbolism; here are a couple on that:

Enright, Michael J. Lady with a Mead Cup: Ritual, Prophecy, and Lordship in the European Warband from La Tène to the Viking Age. Four Courts Press, 2013.

Rowland, Jenny. “OE Ealuscerwen/Meoduscerwen and the Concept of ‘Paying for Mead'." Leeds Studies in English, vol. 21, 1990, pp. 1-12.

Also you might want to look into the general concept of the "mead of poetry" from the Old Norse sources. You can find the origin story for that in the Prose Edda, I believe.

Definitely check out https://www.foodtimeline.org for recipes with honey during the period - they have more than you'd expect. There's also a few medieval cookbooks you can parse through. Here's an online one you can sort through that does a great job modernizing the translations: https://www.medievalcookery.com/etexts.html

As for honey itself -- there's actually quite a bit of research on that! Honey was quite a specialized trade, and most of the medieval world used it for sweetener, so there's a good amount of research.

A few leads:

honey as an alternative to sugar, which was expensive, imported, and could indicate class

honey grading: honey was graded based on location/provenance, type (lavender, orange blossom, etc.), and also by grade. However, their method of grading was very different to our modern one.

honey as a preservative, not just for flavor

Articles on this subject:

(DEFINITELY this one!!) Fava, Lluis Sales, et al. “Beekeeping in Late Medieval Europe: A Survey of Its Ecological Settings and Social Impacts.” Anales de La Universidad de Alicante. Historia Medieval, no. 22, 2021, pp. 275-96, https://doi.org/10.14198/medieval.19671.

Wallace-Hare, David, editor. New Approaches to the Archaeology of Beekeeping. Archaeopress, 2022. JSTOR, https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv2b07txd.

Verberg, Susan. “Of Hony: A Collection of Mediaeval Brewing Recipes for Mead, Metheglin, Braggot, Hippocras &c. — Including how to Process Honey — from the 1600s and Earlier,” 2017. Academia.edu.

If you want to look more into the medicinal usage, Cockayne's Leechdoms, Wortcunning, & Starcraft collects all the medical & scientific texts of the Old English period. It's old enough to be public domain, so it's available on the Internet Archive and HathiTrust in searchable form, meaning you can just ctrl-F "honey" and see what comes up.

Let us know how it goes!

this is not the ask i was trying to send you earlier! this is a lot of thoughts about bloodrayne i suddenly had while trying to remember the point of that ask, lol. frank kitchen ramblings incoming if this one goes through

i thought for sure there had to be a katarin/rayne fic -somewhere- out there, probably floating around in the depths of livejournal. no luck, though. unbelievable 'cause to me it's so slashy. don't people like vampires?? i did learn in the course of that search that the original tv guide listing when the movie aired was "ludicrous adaptation of the gory video game" and see a couple of people agreeing with me that the best performance by far is katarin's very campy dad, so i guess that's something

escritoireazul wrote in her recap, "i'd say katarin eating that apple was a nice sign of the temptation and a fall to come, but that's probably too subtle." i feel like she could be onto something there. i wish she'd written for them. any katarayne (still trying to get that one off the ground) fic is probably gonna have to have a strong tooth focus anyway. you know every time she catches a glimpse of rayne's fangs she suddenly remembers she's not dealing with a human and feels a hot shuddering wave of…revulsion. yeah, that. nothing else. she's not pressing the pad of her thumb to the point of her sword and wondering or anything

…i don't think this is even a question, lol. i just remember you saying you were maybe gonna write something for them. i would be all over it. i can't decide whether to give it a stab (ha) considering that would involve actually rewatching that movie. my other idea for bloodrayne fic would be the adventures of the stronghold's tailor and his ongoing quest to outfit the ladies of the medieval anti-vampire resistance in the sluttiest capri pants imaginable. obviously he is either a time traveler from the year 2004 or periodically seized by prophetic visions of the limited

Actually unbelievable that's there's nothing about them out there. I think the most I've ever seen is a few people bringing it in the tags on posts here, but that's not really anything. Hard not to love Rin's campy father, honestly.

I still wanna write something for Katarin and Rayne!! That was my first thought when I watched the movie back in like... March I think? I drew some fanart and everything, which I'm not gonna share 'cause I don't like either drawing haha. One was just Katarin telling Rayna she had no place in Brimstone. Edited over it was that tweet that reads something along the lines of "I had a crush on a girl and didn't know how to deal with it, so I wrote her note telling her to get out of my school."

I have a roleplay blog where Katarin is one of my muses and that's about the extent of BloodRayne-related writing I've done so far, unfortunately :P

My main thought for a Katarayne fic is centered around the dueling scene, but I'm also generally into the concept of Katarin getting badly injured and being unable to fathom it when Rayne helps her, but having to suck it up and accept it because she can hardly stand, let alone mount her horse and get back to Brimstone's fortress.

I've rewatched the movie maybe four or five times at this point, which is probably more times than anybody else had made the active decision to sit down and dedicate their time to it. I love it, yet I would never recommend it to another human being because it's awful <3

I have a deep love for how much their outfits stick out. I mean, Rayne has the excuse of it being based off her outfit from the games. And also being in a circus, I guess? But her friend that she accidentally bites has a pretty normal dress on, so...

Katarin has no excuse. Obsessed with when she's about to go in the water and she's standing next to dudes in the most like, bland medieval attire imaginable. Shapeless tunics, plain belts, boots, and trousers in brown and beige... And Katarin is wearing a lavender jacket and 00s capris. Vaguely unrelated, but also love how she cleans her sword off with the end of her cape.

I read fanfic at a snail's pace, so I haven't finished your Tomboy rewrite yet, but it's really good so far! I also have a few of your F&F and Blue Crush fics in my bookmarks and didn't even realize until I was trying to find something the other day lol. Anyway, I'd definitely read a katarayne fic from you. Or about whatever the hell is going on with the tailor
