<< Feasts should taste good. As far as I am concerned that goes without 
 saying. It is easy to prepare both a period feast and a good tasting 
 feast all at the same time.  I have done it many times. I have cooked 3 
 feasts in Ansteorra using all period recipes and have only had one dish 
 meet with mixed success. I just attended a feast at Crown Tourney that 
 had good food and period recipes (well except for the chocolate truffles) 
 and it was well received. >>

I agree.  Some years ago, before I knew better, I cooked dishes mentioned in
the book, Fabulous Feasts.  I "thought" they were all period.  Everything met
with approval except the St. Johns Rice.  (Currant rice with Carob Cream)
 Even then it was not picked up by the period police.  The comment was made
that because it was "chocolate looking" it should have been a sweet dish, and
it was not, by any stretch of the imagination.
