SC - SC period food or not

[Charles McCN]

In Melbourne groups, to serve non-period food is occasion for scorn. (Or 
sympathy, if the cook doesn't know any better). There are plenty of 
medieval dishes around which taste good and are easy to make.

One of the approaches we use is to have a 'gourmet night' - try out a 
recipe on each other before serving it at a feast. It provides the 
opportunity to discover that two people interpret the same recipe 
differently (Cuskynoles anyone?) and gives a chance to refine the cooking 
before unleashing it on the great masses.

This is another reason for lots of dishes. There _are_ things which some 
people don't like. In any reasonably large group, you will have people 
who don't like (or are violently allergic to) something you are serving.

Variety helps the problem...
