The Stewpot (Outlands cooks guild) sets up tasting tables at events, with
perhaps a half dozen items. Having recipe cards to hand out with the food
seems to go over pretty well, and encourages more people to try more
period food. It started as a way to fight the "period food is icky"
syndrome and also advertised the guild as an activity and a resource.
