Welcome to SCA-Cooks!, although it sounds like you've actually been
around for awhile. So, my appologies if you've already heard all this,
but here are two files in the CULTURES section of the Florilegium that
might help in your persona research:
Wales-msg         (81K) 10/12/01    Welsh culture. avail. newsletters.

>         So, I am avidly collecting everything which relates to cooking

> period elements: I am thinking of labelling the coffee and tea as
> 'Exotic drinks from the Mid and Far East' and letting people work
> it out from there :-)
