SC - Lord's Salt experiment.

[Nick Sasso]

In A.S. XII-XIII I moved from the West (where we did not do feasts) to
Caid (where we did picnics and banquets in restaurants) to the
East/Atlantia where I first met actual SCA feasting.  There were very few
sources available.  The only one I actually remember holding in my hand
was a very early edition of Cariadoc's Renaissance Cookbook Collection.
Food was generally "perioid" rather than what I would now call period.
Roast meat, avoid potatoes and tomatoes, good home brewed mead and beer,
honey saffron quiche, savory toasted cheese, hearty soups and stews with
meat and carrots and barley.  I can try to did through old papers and find
some menus from A.S. XIII-IV for feasts that I cooked.  Let me know.
