I have thought of opening a small shop with confections that are period,
(confits, gingerbrede, suckets etc) but not a larger cookery. The idea is
intriguing, but I would be curious how to run such an endeavor. I would be
interested in working in it, possibly contributing to the organization or
menu, but not for the entirety of the war.
I'm not going to become a nay sayer here, I think the idea is a good one, I'd
love to see period food being served at Pennsic. I have cooked enough feasts
in camp kitchens that I know it's possible and more appropriate than steak
sandwiches and cajun fries (although my husband would be in tears if they
went away!)
I look forward to hearing from the professional cooks on this list, and from
others willing to head this project.
