[Sca-cooks] What class would you teach/take?

[Ted Eisenstein]

>1.  a class starting with butchering an animal, and then all of the
>dishes you could do with it....
Not to mention what to do with the fur (if it has any), the skin,
and the bones. . . Lots of things you can do with dead critters, other
than just eat them.

>5.  a class on different ways to set tables...period dishes, silverware,
>etc., etc.
And the proper presentation of foods, and the serving thereof, and
the carving thereof.

Period table manners? The various jobs associated with food - cellarers,
bakers, cooks, carvers, meat procurers, baker, grainerer (who gets the
grains, which grains are gotten, and the like). . .

The humoral theory of foodstuffs? And which foods cure which diseases,
and which foods _cause_ which diseases.

Ooh! Lots of interesting stuff.
