I don't understand why so many of the recipes for this episode are not authentic, using ingredients that did not exist in 16th-century England, especially since on the show they seemed to be so scrupulous about using authentic methods and tools. Wild rice (from North America was completely unknown in Europe at this time. They didn't even feature wild rice on the show, so why include it here? Some of the other ingredients included in the recipes here, like turkeys, limes, bell peppers, etc. would have had to be imported from long distances and thus were extremely rare. Many of these recipes also include completely anachronistic ingredients like food coloring, store-bought crackers, Samuel Adams Boston Lager, (why not suggest a British beer?, etc. I just don't get the point of these recipes. Either be authentic or drop the pretense.
