SC - Are creations period?

[Balldrich BallBarian BoulderBain]

	Anything is possible old friend. . . After if we placed enough monkeys in
a room with a typwriter. . . heh heh heh!
	But really, With the foods and spices and a general knowledge of what was
done we should have room to see if we can come up with things that very
similar yet come out different.  I have recipies that I use that do not
come out the way other folk use them.  So we should give the benifit of the
doubt and some room for experiment with known foods/spices.  Not everything
that was cooked was written down.  
	In ancient Egypt over 1800 types and qualities of bread stuffs were taxed
and labeled with names.  We only have reciepies for a handful and lots of
spare names.  We must try and see if we can reconstruct them.  Otherwise we
may lose out altogether. . . and to not generate new taste sensations that
may have been available during the "Medieval Times" . . .sad.

desert.
