The background of the increase in the number of British recipes in the Middle Ages was the "Big Bang" stage. In the middle and late Middle Ages in Europe, the gourmet culture began the "Big Bang" stage, and the diet of the nobles changed greatly. The medieval "banquet" was born in the late Middle Ages, and people began to mention the word "banquet" sporadically. This word was originally used to describe the last course of a large banquet. In the15th century, it was used to describe a cold meal, that is, a regular meal at night in the French court.
