[Sca-cooks] The veggie question

[Nikki McGeary]

1. You are asking for a headache!

--Nah, not really.  I'm a vegetarian, so it will
actually be a pleasure to know I can eat anything at
the feast!  I know veggie and vegan SCAdians in my
area, some of whom have never been able to enjoy a
SCAdian feast.

3. In general though, vegetarianism is a rather modern
concept. Vegetarians in period were either terribly,
terribly poor,
invalids who couldn't handle meat, aescetics,
heretics, penitents, or
plain crazy. IMHO it is better to learn and understand
the period
aesthetic than to try to take a modern ideal and make
it fit. Just my
opinion, however.

--I'm well aware of that, which is why I'd like to
have the theme of the event represented by a period
concept.

Thanks for your comments!

IYS,
