Yep.  I think I'll take the very wise advice offered here over the last few 
days.  I'll continue my research, prepare my meals the way I like them, and 
make my camp very, very happy.  If I find a period recipe I am satisfied 
with, I'll use it as-is.  If not, I'll alter it to suit my tastes.  Of 
course, I will still try my best to keep it "period-oid" or whatever else you 
like to call it.  By the way, did I ever mention that I prepared the Feast 
for the Dun Or Baronial Anniversary?  Not a single period recipe to study 
from, so I winged it, and got a standing ovation and requests to do 
another... Of course, looking back at it I can now see one VERY serious faux 
pas...Chocolate Espresso Cake?  Ummm...would you believe it was an ancient 
Aztec recipe??

Such a strange fascination, as I wallow in waste
That such a trivial victory could put a smile on your face.
