[Sca-cooks] Arms, and food applications

[Edouard de Bruyerecourt]

Yeah, the SCA is a bit of an odd duck with shires and cantons being 
'lordless' lands, there being no specific _and local_ nobility to hold 
them like baronies, principalities, and kingdoms. I suppose by default 
the King or Prince is 'lord' of the shire, along with his greater royal 
title, and has all his trusted seneschals for each. One might consider 
the same for a barony and canton, since the canton reports through the 
barony.

A shire or canton herald would also have the right to wear a tabard of 
the branch arms.

As far as serving a roast on a bed of frumente displaying the shire 
arms, it might indicate the same act upon the collective members of the 
shire. Or, if one assumes the above about the King being 'lord' of the 
shire........
