SC - Question re. Cooks Guild badges

[Susan Laing]

Allison and Juliana -

Many, many thanks for your efforts on my behalf!

These will certainly help in avoiding conflict with established badges! :-)

On the same topic - I spent a few hours last night with a local Herald and 
his Pictorial (along with other amused members of my local Baronies A&S 
meeting) - going through all the pictures and discussing their suitability.

In true Herald style (well - over here at least they are prone to pun more 
than a normal soul would dream of) my friend skillfully drew the well known 
symbol of the "great arches" and was a little crushed when I was adament 
that the Guild would not dream of imposing on their domain....  ditto the 
Narwale roasted above flames (although the shackles and sharp pointy weapons 
were of interest to a few of our resident cooks :-p

The Salamander looked good (and the more astute ones appreciated the use of 
a period name for a period utensil) but incorporating it into a device that 
loudly proclaims "I'm part of the cooks guild and my kingdom/principality of 
origin is" is proving a wee bit difficult (esp. since I don't wish to simply 
register the salamder on field of whatever, thereby stopping anyone else 
using the beastie and ruining our ultimate plans of World cooking domination 
- - and besides I'm sure that there's any number of personal devices that we 
have to avoid conflict with as well...)

Will keep you all informed of the Great Guild Badge Hunt....

:-)

Here's some info on registered cooks' badges.  Juliana is on the staff of 
the Laurel Queen of Arms, with access to all the file drawers, books, 
on-line stuff, etc.
