Personal opinion, first.  The folks in the SCA use badges in ways that are not
consonant with period usages.<snip>

this is a good thing to remember, but the idea was that we are all this
multitude of people- but if we were to all be attending an event, how would we
know?  This list is amazingly huge- from all over the Known World.  Wouldn't
be nice to go to an event and see a symbol on someone's belt or in their
encampment and be able to go up and say "hi, look me too!" and put a name to a
face?  and if you add in the cathedral puns this does end up being similar to
a military/religious order ;) sort of like the scallop shell on all the
pilgrims.  This is a pilgrimage of sorts- all of us from all over the map
conversing and sharing- good and bad, but constantly reminding eachother of
why we "play"

I can think of several symbols that are cooking related, and yet quite
medieval.  Anyone want a saint's martyr's symbol, the gridiron?  Old Marian

why a salamader and cheese? well it started with snails see, and
degenerated...  I kinda like the alchemic insinuation.
I am going to search the SCA armorial to try to avoid conflicts, and attempt
to draw something up this evening.  I am not so bold that I will submit it,
but I would be honored to be included in such a group.
