Lady Morgan,
No, Meridies isn't the only one. Here in Trimaris, the entry rules
specify one dish only. Our A&S competitions have been shrinking due mostly
to misconceptions and officer changes, and the Food Preparation Category is
usually lightly entered (this past one we had three entries)
I entered this past with a dish of Roasted Quail (2nd generation,
home grown, home butchered) rosted in the oven(no spit available and it
rained, so...) prepared from a redaction of my own from a combination of
period sources. The Quail were wrapped in bacon, roasted, and served with a
sauce on the side. The plate was garnished with parsley, marigold flowers
(the old kind) and pickled pears. It was nominated for non-pariel, but was
not succesful. I did get a perfect score, and the "Laurels' Acclaim" scroll.
