[Sca-cooks] Food in Tolkien(OOP) but event related....

[AEllin Olafs dotter]

Hobbits always seemed to me to live in very late 18th century - just 
barely pre-industrial. The villages that existed in England where they'd 
heard of the new cotton mills, but there wasn't one locally... And it's 
that period remembered through rose colored glasses. No problems, no 
hardship.

OTOH, someone here described Gondor as High Medieval, and I always saw 
it as Roman... so YMMV. That's the cool thing about fantasy... it 
doesn't actually have to be historically accurate to a time that never 
really existed...

This event is always supposed to be silly - though I think this is the 
silliest. I'm sorry I won't make it - it's up against something else I 
really need. Andrea's menu looks fun, and delicious.
