"Oats -- a grain which in England sustains the horses, and in
Scotland, the men." -- Johnson

"It was pleasant to me to find that 'oats,' the 'food of horses,' were
so much used as the food of the people in Johnson's own town." --
Boswell

OK, I found this on the SCA-Garb list of all places.

Luveday

Coqueo ergo sum ( I cook, therefore I am )

Subject: off topic but may be of interest

    I've make arrangements with David Schoonover, head of the Special
Collections Dept. at UI, to conduct a research/ show-and-tell presentation
at
the UI Main Library on Feb. 26.  Please pass this information along to
anyone
you think might be interested.
    Mr. Schoonover's main topic is cooking, and the collection does have
some
original period cookbooks, which we'll get to see. The session will be
approximately 1-3 pm. I need to know BY FEB. 20 who will be attending so I
can give him a headcount. I don't need names (although that would be
helpful).
    Garb is optional, but Mr. Schoonover has said he may wear "appropriate
attire".  There's a large parking lot at the south end of the building
(you'll need to feed the meter @ $.01/ minute), it is handicap accessible at
either end (north entrance has limited Handicapped parking ONLY) <A

Iowa Szathmáry Culinary Arts Series
Edited by David E. Schoonover, University of Iowa
For twenty-five years Louis Szathmáry, renowned chef and owner of the famed
Bakery Restaurant in Chicago, selected and cared for a unique cookbook
collection eventually numbering over 20,000 items. This magnificent
collection was donated to the University of Iowa Libraries. The University
of
Iowa Press, in conjunction with the University of Iowa Libraries, publishes
reprints, new editions, and translations of important cookbooks from the
vast
collection. The series makes a vital contribution to the study-and
appreciation-of culinary history and the culture of food.
