SC - the grocery cart game

[Stephanie Rudin]

     I just got the Ansteorran newsletter, The Black Star, Tuesday.  It 
     seems that I saw that there is a competition like this coming up at 
     someone's event.  The premise (if I remember correctly) is that you 
     are the head cook in a castle that has been under siege for some time 
     and you have limited foodstuffs.  All the competitors will be given 
     the same ingredients and can use nothing else, with the exception of a 
     small amount of salt.  The winner is the cook who comes up with the 
     most palatable dish.

gentles,
     
baron tibor's 'grocery cart game' brought a smile as i just got a phone 
call from my middlest son last night to tell me that he had passed his 
final cooking school exam with flying colors.  and, you guessed it!, it 
was 'the grocery cart game'.  he got a carton of various foodstuffs and 
had to produce a meal with only what was there ( i think staples, like 
flour, sugar, salt were also allowed).
     
this is a lovely idea for a cook's contest if we ever find that mythical 
collegium site.  form teams and give them a carton of appropriate period 
ingredients and let them loose for the day.  they could bring their own 
source books for documentation and ideas and would all have the same time 
period and cooking facilities to use.  
     
who wants to be on my team?
