Pygge Night

The theme of February's culinary night was the noble pygge - everything had to either be made from pork, look like pork, or go well with pork. We got a huge variety of dishes, from authentically cured bacon (very different than our modern fatty streaky bacon!) to a marzipan pig's head subtlety, to oranges in syrup (to protect us from scurvy.) Other offerings included delicious pork-stuffed apples, roasted pork loin, and hearty soups.
