I believe we should be cooking typical feasts to the best of our 
knowledge and budget.  I get plenty of potatoes and corn in my everyday 
life. I can give it up for a feast on the weekend. Part of my enjoyment 
in the SCA is doing things that are different from what I do normally.  
That includes foods, how they were cooked and how they taste.
