Yep. Some people I know in the SCA treat it as a sort of closed 
community and real-world substitute; It affects their lives and 
colors their speech, and in general I'd be the last person to be 
concerned about people fraternizing with Outsiders ;-). I was just 
messing with you.

Little darioles, chewets (little fist-sized meat pies), payn ragoun 
(sorta-kinda pine-nut fudge). There's a million possibilities.

But then, you're in a cooking club, not a period cooks' guild, and 
even if historical cookery were the main intent, there's a lot of 
fascinating stuff that is worthy of reconstruction, even though from 
outside of our period.

Although I understand the desire to contribute from within your own 
experience... but Turkducken sounds fun, too.

_I've_ never had turkducken. ;-(
