Well, this is what has been done in some kingdoms.
In the fEASTS section of the Florilegium:
tasting-tabls-msg (12K) 4/29/09 Introducing people to medieval
foods using
food samples and tasting tables.
In some ways this also sounds like the various food competitions.
In the CELEBRATIONS AND EVENTS section:
cookg-compet-msg (38K) 12/ 1/08 SCA cooking competitions.
SC-Outlandish-msg (14K) 8/24/08 A pirate themed Siege Cooking
competition at
the 2008 Outlandish event.
SC-Potrero-art (22K) 1/29/09 Calafia Siege Cook Off at the
Potrero War.
SC-Talonvale-msg (10K) 9/29/08 Siege cooking at the "Siege on
Talonvale"
event in the Middle Kingdom
in 2004.
siege-cooking-msg (22K) 8/24/08 A cooking contest where teams are
given
min. time, ingredients to
create a meal.
