Not so much that there are myths associated with them, but those
dishes are good examples to refute the myth that all medieval food was
weird, strange, and highly spiced.

The idea started out as just a feast, full of dishes that a modern person
would recognize, and has turned into an event, or at least a moot, dealing
with commonly-held myths, both mundane and SCA, about the SCA time period.

Not like I'm an overachiever, or anything.
