Doing equal numbers of Old World and New World foods was helpful.
People knew what they were shooting for. And although I thought that
certain foods would be just too obvious, that often was not the case.

Yes, I brought the gingerbrede and the marzipan to give out as prizes
(or parting gifts). I didn't have any recipe booklets, and wouldn't have
been able to produce any on the spur of the moment. And I figured that
although not everyone likes to cook, almost everyone likes to eat. And I
also thought that offering medieval munchies was another way to prove
that period food was tasty and not particularly weird. At first I was only
going to make the gingerbrede, but then I thought it might be good to
have an alternative that wasn't as spicy. And since I had a pound of
almond meal left over from all that Passover baking, and sugar and
rosewater are staples in my house...
As for other prizes -- it would depend on how many you expect to hand
out. A wooden spoon, perhaps decorated with a ribbon, would be
appropriate and inexpensive. However, if you expect to hand out scores
of prizes, that might not work.
