	Actually, they did bang some metal swords around, in a very theatrical,
noise-making way.  Certainly not combat, but they did get it in.

	Yup, it looked like they had a good time.

	Actually, it was venison terrine.

	Ok, here is where we diverge.  The program may have been wrong, but the
guest couple was introduced as members of the SCA, they had garb, they
talked about re-creating the middle ages, they showed the inside of their
home with normal SCA dreck, and put their SCA names on-screen.  I might
be delusional, and nothing against these folks, but that was the
information put forth on the show.

	I am not memory impared (ok, not *this* time!) and do remember all of
the previous discussion.  I certainly do not assign "blame" for the
flavor of the show, it was what it was.  
It wasn't our (collective/SCACooks/perfect) Food Fantasy, but it was
cute.
