[Sca-cooks] Festival of the Rose report

[Mark.S Harris]

Aremisia gave a description of the Crown luncheon she served and said:

This often seems to be the case, whether the fancy food item is a
cake or a soteltie. Often, when people will cut into it at all, they
will just nibble pieces away from the edge. Trying to "save" it
I guess. But if not eaten, it often must be thrown out. I think you
may have the best solution. Perhaps folks who make such dishes as
this should plan on cutting them up themselves after the populace
has had a sufficent time to view the artistry.

For simpler items like cakes, maybe they should be served with a
piece already removed, or at least cut. Of course, one re-occuring
problem at our Pot Lucks is that there often is no serving knife
nearby, so the cake doesn't get cut.

Uh oh. Stefan may just be slow and this has been obvious to
everyone else, but what is the shape that this livering is
molded into? (I've not gotten to the website yet). Is this in
a "donut" or "ring" shape? I just now looked at the name of this
dish again, and realized it could be thought of as "liver-ring"
as opposed to "liver-ing".
