Pick another time and place?

There have been many requests for period recipes from this part of the world. 
Although I fail to see the current 'fascination,' i can understand trying to 
do a feast that no one has done before. On that basis, Kiev fits. :-) But the 
reality of the matter is that until we convince someone who is either an SCA 
member or a professor at a Russian university to 'share' any manuscripts that 
their may be available, there really is no information to share.

The same problem occurs in the Middle East, where there are hundreds of 
manuscripts to be translated. The bazaar and unreasonable restrictions that 
these countries place upon outside scholars to access their archives and copy 
and bring back their findings is so mixed up in stupid rules and unnecessary 
red tape that it makes any research almost impossible for non-natives.

Convincing the people who l.ive there to share these manuscripts is the only 
solution, IMO.
