Well, that's kind of the joke. Many people, including me, had expirienced
too many "period" feasts that were just terrible. I'll never forget the
Rasin Feast (ick). So there was a big debate between the "I'm here to make
my diners happy" and the "How can you have a period event and serve modern
food?" crowds. I think things have progressed significantly both on the list
and in many kingdoms' attitudes over the last couple of years. I do know that
here in Ansteorra there has been a dramatic swing in the interest in doing
more period feasts and I've become a true convert and actual period cooking
snob. But, as I say about my kingship, I try to be a benevolent despot.

Yours,
