Here are some of the files in the Florilegium that I think might be
of use to you:
In the PERSONAL CARE section:
aphrodisiacs-msg (14K) 10/15/99 Medieval aphrodisiacs.
In the FOOD section:
Warners-art (32K) 6/29/98 An article on disguised food.
by Alizaunde, Demoiselle de Bregeuf.
(this is mostly a file of suggestions for a bunch of wonderful sotelties
and warners)
And maybe some of the recipes in this file might be acceptable. I don't
think Ras' famous recipe is in here though:
organ-meats-msg (60K) 5/25/00 Period cooking of organ meats.
In the FOOD-SWEETS section:
Roses-a-Sugar-art (21K) 7/15/98 "Divers Pretty Things Made Of Roses
& Sugar"
by Mistress Renata Kestryl of Highwynds.
sotelties-msg (152K) 4/15/99 Sotelties and Warners - decorated food.
sugar-paste-msg (89K) 7/20/99 Making sugar paste sotelties.
Sugarplums-art (19K) 7/15/98 "Visions of Sugarplums" by Mistress
Renata Kestryl of Highwynds.
Perhaps these files in the CHIVALRY section will give you some ideas also:
courtly-love-bib (13K) 10/15/98 Bibliography on Courtly Love.
courtly-love-msg (12K) 9/23/99 The history and concept of courtly love.
> The other question is, how would you decorate the hall - and do you have any
> ideas (clean please!) for activities for the event (games and the like)?
Well, bananas are period for some areas and times. In the FOOD-FRUITS
section:
bananas-msg (11K) 8/ 4/00 Period bananas. When and where known.
