If you lived near me, things would change. Competition with thoughtful
discussion is one of the places where it is possible to dramatically
increase knowledge of period cuisine (the other being the popular redaction
parties).

Lastly, you must always tailor your entry to the competition, rather than
saying "I have a great recipe for lamb stew...let's go to an event this
weekend so i can enter it in a competition".
Aoife----will I get skinned alive for admitting this stuff?
>From Rayne (reading and learning from all this) I hope the bold type comes
across (it is the last paragraph) - I had not really thought of this. I did
KNOW that we don't Marshal Arms in the SCA. It is a hobby that I had
mundanely. Perhaps I should have "expected" that the judges were not
"experts" in this area and should have submitted it has a paper with
documentation WITH the display board AND entered it as a PAPER rather than in
the Heraldry category. hmmmm, more food for thought from the Cooks List.
