Gruel Recipe
Gruel - a thin porridge made by boiling
groats (the crushed grain of various cereals)
in water or milk - was commonly eaten in
aboard ship. In more recent times gruel has
often been recommended as a food for
invalids - frequently with the addition of
lemon peel, nutmeg, wine, port or spirits.
This is a typical medieval gruel recipe.
