No, never would I do so for exactly the reason you said.  I have not yet 
practiced that recipe enough.  I just fed it to my family to get there 
opinions.

"Certainly tastes are different, with the result that you may cook something
you like and your lady doesn't. But that has little to do with how period
the recipe is--after all, the recipe doesn't say how much powder Fort to
use."

Agreed


"But note that if you are telling the people "this dough was not intended to
be eaten," you are making a historical statement, and one that may well be
false."

Possibly I would.  I believe in my research and from what I believe I have 
heard on the net, some coffin lids or dough are not intended to be eaten.  I 
would be as correct either way as the recipe does not state.  Perhaps a 
better way would be to say it may not have been eaten.

"In most circles I am familiar with, describing
someone as a Nazi is regarded as a put down."

You cannot imagine how much I Now regret the choice of the Word  Nazi in this 
context.  The contrast you are perceiving is NOT what I was intending in my 
original post.  But rather that people have differing viewpoints and that we 
should accept where someone is coming from and be willing to accept 
information and criticism from them.  Thus learn from everybody.  Especially 
if you had earlier considered them to be unbending apparently single-minded 
rude whatever or overly practical.  Would it not be a better world if we 
could learn to learn from people we originally thought of as NAZI, That is 
what I meant.  Thus the insult or viewpoint one perceived the individual 
becomes replaced with, here is that person whom knows more that I do.  Lets 
Glean information from them.

You I believe had asked about the Term NAZI in regard to the SCA.  I was 
offering you the a definition.

I hope that I have answered your questions.  I welcome any further questions 
or comments. 

I still would like the documentation on the franks eating people in period.
