Spreading knowledge, building an expectation of period food, leading by 
example, is good.  Being critical of those not cooking period enough for 
your tastes is bad. Most not very period cooks are new, cooking for a crowd 
and being kind of historically correct is pretty good, and should be 
encouraged and not discouraged by criticism over periodness.  Get them in 
the kitchen, then teach them to cook.

(Feel free, on the other hand, not to support a cook who insists on 
beleiving the old stereotypes and won't research and won't try.  not 
supporting means don't eat feast.  It's still rude to criticize.)

Bonne
