Sounds a bit Mead-ish to me. Pancakes though? A bit like the Mediaeval medicines and bathroom remedies I posted sometime, somewhere. Powdered Horse Manure for sore eyes etc! |

Pancakes is a wonderful guess. You have me wondering now. The translation of CRYPPYS is given as crisps but crepes makes sense.

"wytys of eyryn !" - whites of egg? Flour, white of egg and honey - then add some kind of fat - dunno, but shall we try it. Quantities guessed?

I cheated I'm afraid - I'm a bad boy.  For to Make Cryppys/Crisps Ancient Cookery Nym flour and wytys of eyryn figur other hony and fweyng togedere and mak a batour nym wyte grecs so yt in a pofnet and caft the batur thereyn and ftury to thou have many and tak hem up and meffe hem wyth the frutours and ferve forthe. 1 cup flour 2 egg whites 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup lard Mix flour, egg whites, and honey together into a thin batter. One that is thin enough to go though a stainer. Melt lard in a hot pan, griddle, waffle iron, or pizzle-iron. Drop spoonful of dough and cook until done - crisp on both sides. Should be crisp not soft or spongy. More like an ice cream cone texture than a pancake or waffle. These can be made in various sizes from dollar, to large platter-sized crisps. They are good for one to two days if stored in a sealed cool dry place. |

I have trouble following Delia Smith.  They don't seem at all keen on quantities. Or too many specifics. ;D XVI. FOR TO MAKE A LOPISTER.

He look-a-likey anyone you know?  No, me neither. But he says he does. Ten full points available for guessing this without a clue. |

Arkan, the Serbian Ultranationalist Celeb?

10 point it is. Ok, maybe he's worth the money after all.
I wasn't expecting the Stubbies to be so quick. I'll look for a harder one.

The first was Clarkson.  What does Arkan even look like? |

This is Arkan with his band of paramiltary ultranationalists, probably on their way home from a little light ethnic cleansing.  Here he is at his wedding to Serbia's most famous turbofolk singer. Videos of the ceremony are available to buy. They include the many costume changes the happy couple made during the day.  He doesn't look like much now I guess, seeing as someone put a bullet in the back of his head when he was sitting in the Belgrade Intercontinental Hotel one day. |

Is the new one Tony Hart?

Not Tony Hart, though I can see how it could be. He looks more like Tony Hart than he does his real doppel-ganger, perhaps we should email him with the suggestion.
This guy is impersonating a character.
Btw, Arkan seems quite the catch.
