Thank you, this is another piont that i wanted to bring up but forgot to in 
my tirade <g>.  yes i have been cooking for some time and working with period 
redactions and recipies .  i also agree with your other points.  when i am 
proposing any change in a recipie, i confer with other period cooking 
athorities in the area to find an acceptable alternative.

	if one is well versed in period cookery, then an alternative can be 
found. i know here in ansteorra that potatos are difficult to avoid simply 
because of the modern expectations of the diners.  trying to find a period 
alternative is a thin wire to walk when Duke (all you can eat) Buffet wants 
his beef and potatoes.
