Lady Medb asked for help on a feast menu. 

Lady Medb, some of the dishes that you mention have been discussed here
and other places over the years. These are the files I have in the
Florilegium that might be of use to you. These are in the FOOD section.

You might suggest that the canton members might want to look at these

wassail-msg       (15K)  9/ 4/97    Spiced cider and ale drinks.

These are in the BEVERAGES section. You may need to check the current SCA
rules on providing alcoholic beverages with SCA money before you provide
wassail.

> I am also thinking of adding an onion tart if my friend is interested.

Perhaps this file might be of interest:
To_Mke_A_Tart-art (20K) 11/30/93    Article on medieval recipes using a cheese-
                                      onion tart as an example.

> WE are looking for recipies that apeal to us and to the members of our
> group.

You might also find some of the feast menus and recipes given in the
FEASTS section useful. There are also some good suggestions and ideas
on how to cook and serve an SCA feast in this section. 

I hope this is useful and not too overwhelming.
