England, home of ye olde lasagne

Think traditional English recipes and you probably imagine roast beef, steak and kidney pie. Lasagna is unlikely to feature very highly – but the classic Italian dish actually originated here more than 700 years ago, experts believe. Historian Jo Cresdee discovered loseyns, pronounced "lasan", in the first-ever cook book, written for Richard II in 1390.
The cheese and noodle dish did not include tomatoes – these were added by Italians when they "borrowed" the recipe and adapted it. Loseyns gradually out of favour in England, as potatoes replaced pasta in the staple diet. Ms. Cresdee said: "As pasta returned to these shores, everyone assumed it was Italian." She carried out her research for a medieval festival this month at Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire, which will feature from the era.
