Frumenty

Frumenty (a veces denominado también furmity) fue un alimento muy popular en Europa durante la Edad Medieval. Consistía en un alimento cocido (una especie de porridge) a base de granos de trigo (la etimología de la palabra ya dice cuál era el ingrediente principal: el frumentum, que en latín significa grano). Las diferentes recetas documentadas de la época mencionan la cocción con diferentes alimentos, ya sea en leche de almendras (rara vez leche) o caldo de carne, huevo, etc.
