Goodbye (RANT) (Was: Re: SC - Is Arrowroot Period?)

[Gretchen M Beck]

And realize that not everyone on this List sees things the same way. No 
matter how long they have "played the game"...

I, myself, feel:

Period recipe = a dish made from ingredients used in the SCA Timeframe.  

A documented/redacted recipe = an actual recipe that is from a documented 
source pre-SCA ending date.

And I do agree with the ending paragraph of Brandu..."Just cook, and learn 
new period recipes, and cook them how you need to. Make the feasters full and 
happy. 
In the end that's what counts."

 a recipe that is not the one in the document is not the period recipe.
 it certainly be called "period style", and it can certainly have the same 
name,
 but you cannot call the same recipe that appears in the period document.
 
 Cook what you like, as long as the feasters are happy. just be clear 
 about what you call what you cook. that's all I am saying.
 
 IF that offends you then I am sorry.
