  Bryddes Ruslan
  Take chicken breast and wrap in ham. Simmer til tender. Form small balls out
  of white cheese to resemble pearls. When chicken has cooled to room
  temperature sprinkle with some of the cheese balls. Place remaining cheese
  pearls in a seperate dish. Bring to high table with much fanfare and fling
  the dish of cheese pearls about while wrestling with the platter of chicken.
  Lord Ras

Explanation, as best I can remember it.

King Ruslan was Crown of the East at Pennsic.  He was gifted by the Crown
Provice of Ostgardr with an "Ostgardrian War Puppy", which was, in fact, an
inflatable alligator.  He wrestled the alligator.

Later in the war, all forms of Barons were called into Court, include a
trained "Bear-on" (Dov, wearing a bear suit).  Ruslan wrestled the bear.

Lastly, the Tuchux came into court, and Ruslan wrestled with them too.

At the close of his reign, if I recall, he was gifted with a professional
boxers satin robe, with the words "Rasslin' Ruslan" on the back.

He was a fun, and a good king, and I will always admire his Queen, Margaret,
as well.  And his lady, Sydney, who stood by as he ruled with another woman,
and did so with grace, style, and the utmost courtesy.
