This is a dilemma. I have even written an article, that should be out in the Black Star A&S edition, called Feast or Famine about this very topic. It is tough and a topic of discussion in many a kingdom. I think we need to do more work as cooks to let folks know what is out there, is period, and is palatable. However, I am usually content with "periodish"....something that is not blatantly modern....like BBQ. Kinda like the 5 foot rule for garb. On the other hand, anything we can do to increase our knowledge and the overall ambiance of our dream is what we should strive for....a dilemma!
I know, I know, please do not tell the King and Queen and the Laurels Circle, they will strip me of my Laurel before it even gets placed on my head!
Northkeep has/had a cool tradition. They had a potluck once a month, where folks brought period dishes to a meeting to share. Maybe we could start something like that in conjunction with a fighter practice. It shows folks that lots of food we never thought of is period....like grilled cheese and lasagne (with white sauce, not tomato sauce).
I know Tadgh does the cook's guild on every other Sunday too....here is a good chance to promote that. They cook and share research on period dishes. There is so much more out there now than there was 15 years ago when I served my first feast...which included smoked turkey by the way:)
