Thank you Ras, I agree that perhaps in this case my suggestion 
of combat cooking is not the best solution.  Sending in the best
has its time and place and this conflict is certainly one of 
those times and places.  However, it has sparked an interest and 
given the right time and place can be a lot of fun and a great 
experience.  I understand that some of the teams in our 
kingdom are working very hard to be better prepared the next time 
around.  It will be a lot of fun just to see the growth within 
our kingdom, with regards to period cooking, as these types of
events that encourage study and preparation, continue.
