[Sca-cooks] Period Foods: How to Fake It!

[Cera Chonaill]

Thank you coming in to my defense. Good thing my hide is so thick that it's 
almost impossible to get through. Plus, I guess no one got to the email that 
was meant to clear up the question a bit.

For those on the list...

Let make the question more clear, it was meant to get info for NON Cooks so 
they can make an attempt at period looking lunches (look at it from their 
prospective, we haven't convinced them yet that it is fun to spend hours in 
the kitchen). I don't know about you but I'm sick of seeing McDonalds or 
some other fast food chain bags at the off board tables. Plus it is a topic 
for 12th, 'the feast of fools', where it is not meant to be for the serious 
cooks but to help those who would like to make the attempt to look and feel 
more period in an area that is NOT their main interest..... Breath....let 
the shock subside, cooking not their interest but we'll convert them yet :-) 
.

I on the other hand would make the food as period as possible with the 
research to go with it, since I love to use the lunch/off board table as a 
testing spot. Oh my poor, poor friends.... ;-)

In Service,

Cera
still alive after all the brow-beaten... smile... remember we must slowly 
convert the non cooks to our way of think... "It's okay to spend 11 hours on 
one recipe just to get it right" :-)
