I agree.....
>From what I've experienced, when people sign up for feasts at SCA events, 
their expectation and anticipation is that they will get to eat a variety of 
period dishes.  It feels as though we would be "duping" the feasters if the 
dishes presented were not at least a reasonable attempt at this.

We all know that cooking, serving, and eating period feasts is part of the 
dream we're trying to re-create here - a little corner of that dream that we 
as cooks can enjoy bringing alive for the diners and ourselves.  There will 
be a lot of disappointed people in Trimaris if this Royal wish is adhered to 
methinks... :-(
