SC - Faire Food--the Menus (long)

[MAGGIE SECARA]

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!
