[Sca-cooks] A Noble Boke off Cookry - copy available

[Jessica Tiffin]

hi, the List!

thanks to everyone who's responded, on and off-list - I have to admit it 
didn't occur to me to use the other Alexander Napier texts as a baseline 
for cost, although I did find them (repeatedly...).  I hope someone on the 
list ends up with this at a price that contents buyer and seller!

yes, I did notice the ... um, creative mathematics.  I suspect we're 
running into the same "old=_old_" equation which bedevils traditional 
recipes, folk music and anything else where "more than a hundred years old" 
is inevitably seen as "ancient"...

We are modern people with egalitarian instincts deliberately creating a 
society that combines feel-good communalism with hierarchical, exclusionary 
elitism. It should not be surprising that it leads to the occasional 
cognitive dissonance. (Tangwystl verch Morgan Glasvryn, Silverwing's Laws 90).
