Hey Olwen, I don't think Phlip meant that we should all try our hand with Big
Macs or whatever, just that we should pick a description of some modern dish
and try to reverse engineer it.
But I don't particularly like the idea anyway, since I don't think I have a
good enough grasp of period cooking to have any sort of clue as to what a
medieval cook would do with a modern food description.  If I come, and if I manage
to bring anything, it will be a straight medieval recipe.  I'm a deputy for
lost and found this year, which means I'm going to be spending a lot of time "at
work" and may not have time to cook.
