And you know, when Hippocrene publishes my book (which I'm working very hard
on trying to finish just now), I bet they will advertise it as "Authentic
Recipes from the Land of the Vikings" or whatever (true, of course), and
some poor SCAdians will buy it and think they are getting recipes taken
straight from the kitchen manuals of Hallgerður Longknickers and Auður the
Deep-Minded. Oh well.
