Hmmm, sounds like i should make some of this for the feast i'm 
kitchen stewarding ("feast-ocratting", ugh) in early Dec 2000. I'm 
trying to find ways to use root vegetables, and it might be nice to 
have something prepared ahead of time. It's a small feast (more than 
50, fewer than 100 people).

Have you created your own version? Are you using the one in Pleyn 
Delight? A different versions? Hints, please...

(and again my thanks to those who shared recipes a couple months ago 
when i asked the list)
