[Sca-cooks] Never ever work with a renn faire...

[Phil Troy/ G. Tacitus Adamantius]

Also sprach Generys ferch Ednuyed:
>OK, so I made the mistake of agreeing to cook a feast for a madrigal dinner
>a almost-local (5 hour drive away, but oh well) rennaisance faire is doing.
>However, they're cheap (this is a fundraiser) and they have this thing about
>"appearing" medieval, rather than being.  One of the dishes in my proposed
>menu was a rice pilaf - not period, but at the very least medievaloid. They
>didn't like that, saying "it's too modern" - ok, it probably was, *but* -
>guess what they proposed instead?  Roasted potatoes - "They *seem*
>medieval".... (yes that's a quote).  SO... does anyone have any ideas of a
>starch type dish that's both something cheap and something that the average
>*modern* person will eat?  <sigh... i hope this is worth what I'm getting
>paid>

Broad noodles tossed with butter and grated cheese, sprinkled with
spice powder?
