If I were to pursue doing a medieval salad for a feast, I would stick with
spinach, field greens, and a simple dressing like vinagrette.  One question I do
have: I really enjoy cilantro, especially fresh.  Stefan, perhaps in your
Florigium (sorry about the spelling) can you direct me towards more period herbs
to use as part of the salad?  I know parsley is in period, but I don't remember if
cilantro is.  I will check your salad area for the field greens.(thanks for the
reminder!)

Ras-Nope. Not silly.   Peter and I follow that philosophy as well, because we
don't eat out alot, and being semi-vegetarians in a very "beer and brat" town, it
helps us to avoid the average restaurants. Why spend $10-15 a person on a meal
that is ok when you can spend the same or more on a meal that you will really
enjoy.  (A new place called Velvet Room went up in town-rumored to fly in all
seafood daily-I want to try the Olive roasted Chilean Sea Bass over new
vegetables.  BTW: got a good list of your favorite restaurants?  I would trust
your recommendations over alot of others!  My favorite meal on the east coast so
far has been at the Bay Towers in Boston.)
