SC - Rosemary... and Thyme

[Stefan li Rous]

I just got back from a fun cooking event held in the Shire of Dragon's Mist
in AnTir.  It was a variation on seige cooking....

there were 4 groups (London, Paris, Florence and Constantinople).  Each
group was given a box of ingredients.  They could purchase one additional
item and bring their entire spice box (dried ones not fresh herbs).  They
had about 6 hours to research and prepare food.  there needed to be enough
for at least 15 people to have a good taste. (the event was also a potluck
and the dishes served as part of the potluck contributions.....) Several
folks ransacked their cookbook collections for sources, so we had lots of
data.

I am posting here the contents of the boxes.  What would you do? (recipes
and sources please!)
