[Ansteorra-announce] Stargate Yule Revel

[Ted Kubricht]

Greetings one and all,

The Yule season is almost upon us and it's time to think about reserving
your places for a night of feasting at the Stargate Yule Revel.

The list is nearly full and I've decided to work harder if more gentles
would like to enjoy my feast.    I like working harder.   Please reserve
your places soon.

The year is 1499.   Vasco de Gamma has recently returned from his successful
mission to find a trade route to the East.   His Majesty of Portugal, King
Emmanuelle I, has ordered a revel to honor the returning hero.   Featured at
the feast will be the new foods and spices brought back from India,
traditional favorite Portuguese fare, and the first of the crop of foods
discovered by Christopher Columbus in the New World.

Albos com queijos y pao - Garlic cheese with bread
Olivo com pimienta - A selection of marinated olives and peppers
