Oops. I had totally forgotten about the spoilage problem and the trenchers
should start out already several days old, so that leave less time. I
guess things might vary at Estrella than at Pennsic on this.

So, what recipe did you use when you made these trenchers and how did
they work out? So far, no one has been able to relate to me whether
they got soggy and were a total mess, whether they soaked up all the
juice and thus left nothing for the food, whether they collapsed in
folks laps or table or just what.

Thanks.
