Good gentles,
With all the brilliant minds with whom I communicate on this list, I find that I
must watch my words and phrasing very carefully. What I intended to say was
that I would not like to put black pepper in my skim milk which I like to drink
when I eat my cookies. Putting pepper into a COMBINATION of ingredients that
include milk or milk products is a fine idea and I do it often. I had origionally
toyed with the idea of saying "I tell my kids that I don't put ketchup on my peas
like they do because I know what it would taste like and, personnally, wouldn't
care for it." However, I knew that this would leave me open for just the sort of
discussion I received about the pepper/milk comment so I thought I found a
safer route. Silly me.
I am still a firm believer that, with experience and study, a person could create
a dish "in the Medieval style" and that it would be all right to serve this dish at a
feast. I am not saying that I have that experience and ability, but there are
many out there who may.
I do want to cook, serve and eat redacted dishes at a feast. I will never forget
once being served lasagna, though I know that the kitchen staff was busy with
other things that day.
Carefully yours,
Linneah
