Sorry. I thought I had hit the mark, but I'll have to be more thorough.
My meaning of period is indeed pre-17th century--or meant to be. The faire
is specifically 16th century. The potatoes are, yes, my conscious intrusion,
which is why my household calls them faux-turnips.
Thanks for the observation.
Cheers!
