SC - Re: Expecting historical Foods

[Christine A Seelye-King]

I am sorry that you ran into such a thing, and I have to say that I have
also seen things that made me say "hmmm" over the years.  However, there
have long been many good cooks concerned with serving authentic,
researched foods here in Meridies, and so the standard depends on where
you tend to eat, I suppose.  There are some cooks whose meals I try not
to miss, and others, well, I pick and choose.
