as did I, m'dear! I admitted an untoward fondness for 17th century
food....la Varenne rocks! :)

again, please remember that there's nothing in the SCA incorporating
documents that says you HAVE to stick to medieval food of any sort, just
that some of us think its lots more fun that way :).

MOST places in this Known World have no problem at all serving perioide if
not blatently modern food, and chocolate seems a big hit everywhere you go.
I for one plan on playing with this recipe at some point! I just wont serve
it (becuase of my own goofy sensibilities :)) at an SCA banquet unless
asked to do so for the purpose of a theme (ie the baron suddenly gets a
jones to wear a powdered wig! :)) and then they'll have to be putting up
with me saying "#$% this is good! but its not medieval! but its good!"

sorry you feel pounced on...that was not my intent!
