One of the more tear-jerking moments in my time in the SCA was
discovering that after the servers brought out my rendition of the
14th-century English Saumon Gentil, one young lady, a talented
storyteller, took one bite, then stood up on her chair and boomed out
the tale of Fionn Mac Cumhal and the Salmon of Knowledge. I found out
about it later, and the lady simply said to me, "The fish inspired me..."

Yeah, it's true, nobody fainted, and I imagine I'd have been alarmed if
anybody had ;  )
