That would be "Gordon Elliott's Door Knock Dinners."  O please god, send him to
a SCA house some day, preferably one from the SCA-Cooks' list... I wanna see
what he makes of our decor, as well as the kind of ingredients we have sitting
around.  Grains of Paradise, Galingale, half-a-freezerfull of duck carcasses
left from Twelfth Night...
