Modius von Mergentheim, a German chef from 1580's responds in a "light" manner: light, rapier, modius... get it? Ha ha ha ha. guffah. Yes some food may not be period in the Middle Ages but since the SCA cutoff is 1599 the variety of food is vast especially when you include food, spices, recipes up to the cutoff time. The Renaissance has GREAT FOOD! So run wild (up to 1599). Why eat like a Middle Ager (ick!) when you can go Renaissance!!!!!!! (GRIN). Sir Gunthar quibbled: >> example..turkey legs, meat pies, coffee, cheesecake Now on to my quibble. The foods you mentioned are not period........ Sir Lyonel Oliver Grace then quibbled on the quibble. Turkey legs are perfectly period--ifyou happen to be in the Western Hemisphere. Unfortunately, we play a game that emulates the European Middle Ages, so turkey seems a bit inappropriate..... ============================================================================ Go to http://www.ansteorra.org/lists.html to perform mailing list tasks.
