Alcohol bafflement [was SC - whats an inn?]

[Varju@aol.com]

I'm new to the SCA-cooks group.  (Hi from Texas)
I'm a former SCA member (gasp!) who still has an interest in period
cooking,and I'm trying to research for stories.  Would like some help.  Is
there a good reference work for judging cheeses, making cheeses, etc. that is
period for around 1650?  

And one more thing--I know it's not completely period, but are there any
"period" chocolate recipes?

I'm not sure that you will like the period (still some questions on that) or
even the near-period chocolate recipes. They are a long way from a Hershey
bar.
