So far as I can recall, the only attempt at really period food for sale at
Pennsic was the Sated Tyger, a cookshop run largely by Marion of
Edwinstowe, that for some years produced period food with period technology
(except for the refrigerators), including two big clay ovens. Marion then
developed some serious medical problems (now mostly taken care of), and I
think Johan (who was, I believe, the other principle) decided he was tired
of losing money, so they closed down. More recently, Marion has been
running battlefield bakery, which sells periodish food at Pennsic.

I don't think that is correct. Some of Marion's things may be period, but
I'm pretty sure she does not have a policy of limiting herself to things
for which she has period recipes.
