I love medieval recipe instructions! I love the language ("Smite hem to gobbetys. Do hem in a trap, meddle hem, seethe till he be ynogh, and serve hym forth.") I love the challenge of figuring out what kind of dish this is actually supposed to be, and how much of each of the multiple herbs and spices is really called for.

Another fascinating aspect is relating recipes from different sources and different places to each other.
