SC - list newbie/Seasonal food.

Where are the list archives?

Well, go to
http://lists.ansteorra.org/

Pull down the first menu and select SCA-Cooks

Then push the Options button

This will take you to a page with many options, among them accessing 
the archives.

You can't GO to the archives and scan the contents, but you can have 
majordomo send you info on the archives. However, it would be hard to 
say exactly where any particular foofarahs are housed, unless someone 
here remembers what time period that occured in. Then when you 
decide, you can have majordomo send you packets of archives.

Not very transparent, but at least it's there.

As for religious restrictions...

If you are interested in the life of your persona, then i think you 
ought to inform yourself about his/her religion and related food 
restrictions.

On the other hand, if you don't give a farkle about persona, history 
of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, how religion influences 
food, etc., then don't bother.

Me, i'm interested in life in the Medieval and Renaissance periods in 
Europe and the Near East, even though no one then practiced the 
religion i do now. So what? What's wrong with being informed? I don't 
have to participate in actual distasteful religious practices to 
understand what it was like at that time period and have this inform 
my persona and my understanding of just how much religion influenced 
just about every aspect of life in those times.

Not wanting to cause a dust-up, but...
