SC - feasts or just period foods.

[Tollhase1 at aol.com]

First let me apologies If my messages have seemed incoherent of late.  Tore 
ligaments in my foot and I am on pain killers.

I love to do both.  Although its harder to cook purely period for large 
groups.  I realize that many would argue this point.  Something's are easier 
done in small quantities.  Our cooking guild gets together and tries to make 
something very period.  We are guilty of tasting them with feasts in mind.  I 
sometimes use my Mundane charity cooking to test my recipes.  My first 
attempt at orange apple tarts for a 100.00 a plate dinner.  It had to be 
good.  If you can please little old Methodist ladies in there kitchen, you 
can please a feast hall.  I am thinking of making my period ravelloie for 
mother's day banquet.  My church thinks its cute that I cook medieval stuff.  

One of the reasons that I joined this list was to aquire the expertise of 
those whom have been cooking medieval feasts for years.  I have enjoyed the 
discussions of translations and how and when food is served.  There is so 
much to learn.

Hope this helps.
