Jeff asked:
>I'm new to the list and the SCA (just got my card yesterday)...
>Anyway, I was wondering if Sourdough was considered Period....

Take a look at these two files in the FOOD section of my Stefan's
Florilegium:

bread-msg        (131K)  9/ 2/98    Medieval breads and grains.
breadmaking-msg  (146K)  9/ 4/98    Period bread recipes and re-creations.

Hmm. Looking at the dates, the latest versions aren't on the website yet.
Go ahead and look at what's there and look again in another week. Or email
me and I'll send the latest versions in text or Word 6.0 format. We just
recently discussed sourdough breads and most of that info may be in the 
most recent versions.

>Also, along the same "bread" lines....what would you use as a "period"
>equivalent to what we use for yeast today ??

For info on yeast, check out these files, also in the FOOD section:

BNYeast-art       (14K)  4/24/97    "A Brief Note on Yeast" by Katerine Rountre.
yeasts-msg        (39K)  6/ 4/98    Medieval use of yeast. Using it in the CMA.

>Jeff (who has only just begun to think about a period name)

There are also some wonderful online name lists put together by a group of SCA
heralds. I can't remember the URL but it is in the names-msg file.

Oh, yes. My files are at: http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/rialto/rialto.html

Hope this is of use.
