SC - Re: OMIGOD- HAPPY MEALS AT CROWN TOURNEY

[micaylah]

Your thoughts about Roman food in Londinium are probably on target. 
However, Rome did not fare very well in trying for the Emerald Coast, and
there is not much evidence beyond a coastal toe-hold or two that the
legions ever got any farther than the beach.  I don't think Roman food
would be appropriate at an early Irish/Viking Feast at all.  I would look
more toward typical Norse food, and work from there, taking into
consideration the foods available on Erin at the time.
