This has been discussed several times previously on this list. I think
some of the details can be found in this file in the FOOD-SWEETS section of
my Florilegium:
sotelties-msg (105K) 6/30/98 Sotelties and Warners - decorated food.
It is also mentioned in the following file in the FOOD section, but I think the
description is brief. This article though has a lot of ideas for dishes
that could be real showy if you are open to other ideas too:
Warners-art (32K) 6/29/98 An article on disguised food.
by Alizaunde, Demoiselle de Bregeuf.
This file also has some info on peacock dishes:
exotic-meats-msg (39K) 9/25/98 Period and SCA exotic meats. Swans,
ostrich,
eels, peacocks, crawfish, dormice, snails
I have also been considering creating a file specifically on these peacock
dishes as questions on them come up with regularity. However, I haven't made
up my mind on this yet. If you would like the messages I have saved on this,
just let me know and I'll send them to you by email.
