Some of us are on your side, Anya. And IF it were an OFFICIAL feast some of 
the advice presented goes a long way toward helping others find a way around 
this overly restrictive policy which clearly discriminates against serving 
authentically period like feasts at official SCA functions. For instance, a 
French feast in the Middle Ages ALWAYS served assorted wines throughout the 
feast and ALWAYS ended with Hypocras. Since my October feast is French I can 
not bill it as authentic because of the current SCA's restrictive policies. 
:-( Of course, I am serving  the rest of the feast authentically and a friend 
of mine just happened to have a  gift of money  given to him by an anonymous 
donor which means that the Hypocras , if not the wine will be  present 
despite the restrictions. :-)

When I ask questions on the list I usually just pick out the posts that 
pertain to my situation and ignore the rest. It makes for a lower blood 
pressure and allows others access to information that may not pertain to my 
specific situation.
