SC - ARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

[Richard Kappler II]

Okay, I TRIED to keep an open mind.  I scheduled my evening around the idiot
box (my first mistake!) and hoped Sara Moulton had a clue.  I continued
searching for a morsel of historical accuracy and statement supported by
more than conjecture even after this 'medieval scholar' made his first
outrageous faux pas.  But right about the time he was cooking a modern dish
while claiming 'this is how they used to do it' and concurrently made the
statement that medieval food would be inedible today, I could contain myself
no longer.  I screamed, I ranted, I raved, I hollered.  Then I calmed down a
little bit, told the big yaller dawg to stand down and gently peeled the cat
off the ceiling.  I realized that these poor people are just uneducated,
misinformed and concerned more with making a buck and filling a time slot
than they are with presenting the truth and taking the time and effort
necessary to truly discover the wonders of period cooking.  They just need a
gentle suggestion that they might quite possibly be full of %*)!

So who's gonna do it?  I'll volunteer!   Or perhaps a concerted effort would
be more appropriate?  A community letter from the list?  Maybe invite Sara
Moulton to a feast?  I'm willing to bet M'Lord Ras has a recipe hidden
somewhere for STUPID TV COOK on toast or some such.......

HARRUMPH! Puck
