My sympathies, m'lady. This is not only a problem there but a problem here. I 
went to a feast several years ago at a commercial 'Medieval Castle' and was 
served baked potatoes and roasted tomatoes among other things. A t a Renfaire 
the supposed feast was equally obnoxious with corn, potatoes and tomatoes 
appearing in the skimpy overpriced offering. 

Recently you could have had a 16 dish feast with all the trimmings, 
wonderfully prepared and seasoned, recipes derived from medieval cookery 
books, for the wee sum of 5 US dollars at the Ladies Champion Tourney. Were 
you at Pennsic this year and camping with Caer Frig you would enjoy at least 
5 authentic medieval feasts and most likely several others of mixed 
modern/period for the wee sum of 10 US dollars for 2 weeks of scheduled 
dinners and throw togethers.

Perhaps you should start a coin jar and save up for Pennsic next year :-)
