Season's Eatings - Black Bun
About this episode
This episode explores the history and origins of black bun, a pastry that reflects Scotland's medieval past and its cultural adaptations.
Dense, dark, and encased in pastry, it is not immediately inviting to modern eyes. This pastry offers an unusually clear window into Scotland's medieval past, its religious transformations, and the ways ordinary people adapted tradition to changing social conditions. We're exploring the history and origins of black bun.
