Steppes 12th Night Celebrations is fast approaching, and I have been asked
by a few people if we have a separate menu for the children, as they have
concerns as to what their children will and will not eat. So basically I
need to find out now approximately how many children people will be
bringing to the event and how many of those will be feasting.
One of the things that I have always enjoyed most about taking my children
to events was watching them at feast. I always found that they were more apt
to try things at an event that they never would have tasted at home. Even my
biggest food critic, our middle son, who would have none of any dish that he
could not readily identify, would eat virtually anything at a feast. It was
a chance to expose him to different tastes and cultures, and somehow when he
was in garb at an event, he was a different child at the feast table. He
would eat lamb, duck, venison, etc. I can assure you that this would have
never happened at home. The medieval feast is a great opportunity for children
to step outside of themselves, too.
