SC - Soteltie???

[Stefan li Rous]

Aletheia asked:
>What is a soteltie? A dish showing off your skill? Any examples?

Well, yes. But the same could be said for any well-cooked meal. For some
examples, take a look at these files in the FOOD-SWEETS section of my
Florilegium files:

sotelties-msg    (105K)  6/30/98    Sotelties and Warners - decorated food.
 (I have an additional 70K of stuff to add to this file. Let me know and
   I'll send it to you by email)

Roses-a-Sugar-art (21K)  7/15/98    "Divers Pretty Things Made Of Roses &
Sugar" 
                                       by Mistress Renata Kestryl of Highwynds.
sugar-paste-msg   (77K)  9/30/98    Making sugar paste sotelties.
Sugarplums-art    (19K)  7/15/98    "Visions of Sugarplums" by Mistress 
                                       Renata Kestryl of Highwynds.

There are also these files in the FOOD section. Sometimes it is difficult
to decide whether an item is a warner or a soteltie. The general idea is
that sotelties may not be edible while warners are simply disguised food.

illusion-fds-msg  (79K)  8/28/98    Medieval illusion foods. Diguised food.
Warners-art       (32K)  6/29/98    An article on disguised food.
                                       by Alizaunde, Demoiselle de Bregeuf.

This article in the FEAST section might also be of interest:

ill-fd-feast-art  (10K) 12/ 8/97    A feast consisting of illusion foods.
