SC - cooking class disappointment

[Browning, Susan W.]

In a way though, the three that showed up were open to period food.  They
showed up expecting to be fed GOOD food, knowing that it would be period
food.  An indicator that not everybody expects period food to be wierd.  I
would consider it a triumph that you have three converts.

I taught a class this past weekend at King's College designed to encourage
people to try period food and to show that a feast could be easy, period
and good.
I had 3 people show up, none of whom were particularly interested in my
point, they just knew I was a good cook and were hungry:-)
I took pears in wine syrup, gingerbread, meat pies, beef with pepper sauce
and stuffed bread.  I used period sources for all my dishes and provided
sources and recipes in my handout.   I didn't have any food left and
everyone thought everything was great but that wasn't the point.  NO ONE
showed up with an open mind to period food.
As a matter of fact, the feast was being prepared on the table next to
mine...they were peeling ears of corn...CORN!!
It was just very disappointing.
