[Sca-cooks] illusion food

[Robert Downie]

Nah... they'd have fun with it.  At our investiture we had both Midrealm and
Northshield royalty in attendance.  In honour of their attendance I made:

-a dragon passant out of bread with bay leaves attatched to the wings and
imbedded along the back/tail to simulate scaly ridges

-a gryphon (Northshield Badge) out of breadcrumb/honey gingerbread with
candied orange peel feathers.  To this day I'm not sure how I managed to
suspend the laws of physics so this thing would stand upright!  When you're
holding delicate sotleties on your lap en route to an event you feel EVERY
pothole...

Anyway, HRM Edmund decided he wanted to dispell any notions that he was a
bit "stuffy" and one of the means he used was to very ceremoniosly disect
the dragon and present to deserving members of the populus various "Awards
of the Dragon's Body Part" tm.  Cooks got the Award of the Dragons Tail for
working their butts off.  A couple of spiffily dressed Laurels got the Award
of the Dragons Wingtips.  One of our Knights got the Award of the Dragons
but for being the but of so many jokes.  The "baby Knight" got the Award of
the Dragons Breast.  Musicians got the Award of the Dragons Scale (groan).
Well, you get the idea.
