[Sca-cooks] Menu

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

Apologies if this is a duplicate; I've been having problems with
outgoing mail.

Since we've been discussing menus (vegetarian and otherwise),
here's mine for my upcoming feast.  It's late 16th-century Spanish.
The order of the foods is based on various period sources.  I have
attempted to make this a seasonal (winter) menu.  The one gray
area might be the gourds, but parts of Spain have a 12-month
growing season.  And since this is a royal progress event, I think
I'm justified in "sending" for foods from distant regions.
