Then it is household cookery you were referring to? There is a vast difference
between feasts and everyday cookery. Household cookery was most likely managed
in the way you describe just as it is now. I use an eclectic mix of both
period and modern food and techniques in an encampment situation also. For the
most part I do it because I like to do it but if anyone complained about not
having pizza or other bizaare modern food in the camp, I wouldn't heasitate to
ask them to find another cook. :-)
