You laugh.  One area 'fantasy fair' invited a group of 'Historical Klingons' to
their faire a few years ago.  Many of these also happened to be SCA, one was my
honourable husband. They re-created the battle of Kahless and Molor, rode
Frisian horses and generally gave the swaggering Ren-fair fighters a run for
their money.  <g>

Master Atar has mentioned that the Klingon bat'leth "sword" is based on a
Chinese "moon sabre" which did not last long as an actual weapon, more of an art
form.  I'm still trying to get more info out of him.

Meanwhile, back on the topic of cooking... Medieval Klingon cuisine does not
bear much consideration.  I can't get any "Klingons" to go with me for dancing
shrimp, some 'warriors' eh?
