[Sca-cooks] unsubstantiated recipes

[Sue Clemenger]

Oooh, not around here, of course.  Many years ago, we had a Prince who
favored, well, steak and baked potatoes at feast (yes, I know, but what
can one do?....he _did_ win the tourney....<g>), and had made some
snotty remarks about nasty period cooking, etc.  We hosted a collegium,
and the feast comprised 3 courses, IIRC, one each, french, italian, and
jewish.  His Highness got served to him, for each course, a steak, a
baked potato, and corn on the cob (I think...I'm only sure about the
meat and the potato).  By the 3rd course, he'd gotten the point....I
only wish it'd been my idea.
