"St Swithin's Pye" features in an answer about medieval banquets on this forum - an answer that appears to be entirely fiction and fantasy (it also includes "roast vegetables" and "cheese biscuits" which definitely did not feature in medieval banquets).
The major research source for genuine medieval cooking recipes is A Forme of Cury written about 1380 to 1390 in England and taking in recipes from earlier periods. It certainly does not include St Swithin's Pye - nor was the word spelled "pye" in medieval times, it was always either pie or pei (see Middle English Dictionary). Cury is nothing to do with curry - it is an old word for cookery.
The only conclusion is that whoever gave that earlier answer was either making things up or had been to a modern "medieval banquet" which had no connection at all with the real food of the middle ages.
