I'm teaching a class at Pennsic called Heraldry at the Dinnertable,
which is a survey of where you might find heraldic type things displayed
at dinner in period.

I'd like to include an "SCA use" section in the class, so I've got three
questions:

1. How have you used/seen heraldry used in serving dinners at an SCA feast?
2. If you were the cook/planner, how did you choose the display you did?
3. If you documented it, can you give me the rundown/citations?

Thanks much!

toodles, margaret

Are you talking about heraldry in food or as display decoration etc?

In doing feasts, I have used heraldic symbols in bread shapes (laurel wreaths, birds (they were supposed to be Pelicans...), slugs and snails).  I have also done a principality device in marzapan on a dessert, subtelties in the shape of a phoenix (the device of the then King).
