SC - Re: Period cookshop at Pennsic?

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

hey all from Anne-Marie

as I'm planning on going to Pennsic for the first time next year (yay!),
the idea of a cookshop where I can eat medieval food is a very intriguing
one. I already have a "job" at the event next year and so would be unable
to do much more than suggest some recipes :(, but the idea I think has
definate promise!

I might suggest that this year one could even take prescriptions ahead of
time (prepaid of course) to help guage the situation before jumping in
totally. Make 10% over the top for sales on site, and then the next year
when everyone sees how well it went, you'll have a larger audience, I think.

My suggestions for foodstuffs (in keeping with the foodcourt theme)
Scandanavian Pastellums (chicken with sage and bacon in pastry)
ruzzige cake (german cheesy herby bread stuff)
chicken bits on skewers with sauces like cinnamon orange, cuminade,
egredouce, etc. I like Cariadocs idea of serving on a bowl of rice.
soppes dorrey (onion soup)
pork bits with rapey or some other suitable sauce
beef aloise
tartes of flessche
apple krapfen (german, apple pie with honey and toasted hazelnuts)

I agree that doing breakfast too is asking for trouble. Pick one menu and
stick with it.

dont bite off more than you can chew, especially in the beginning. Keep it
simple and grow as interest and energy allow!
