Oh my. It's been a long time since I've seen a cloved fruit of any  
kind in Ansteorra and that game.

For those who have no idea what this cloved lemon game is, and for  
others who wonder where it ever came from, see this file in the  
ENTERTAINMENT section of the Florilegium. Included is an apology from  
one of the two ladies who invented the game.

cloved-fruit-msg  (13K)  9/29/99    Period cloved fruit. Origin of  
the SCA game.

Hmmm. Maybe we ought to bring this back. But, ah, not in Bjornsborg.  
I can only buy so many fruit. :-)
