Actually, one of the better uses of period/OOP cookery I saw was my wife's
entry into the Barony subtlety contest. The theme was "Lion and Lamb". She
made a buttercake lion with creme lambs around it -- but when you cut
into the lion, there was a cheesecake lamb inside! Needless to say, she
won first prize.
