[Sca-cooks] Food and squeamishness

[Elaine Koogler]

Though we've not actually done it as part of a feast as they are 
frequently served, there have been numerous events in Atlantia that have 
involved whole pigs. In fact, the gentle who taught me to cook in the 
SCA was well-known for his pit-cooked whole pig. And we'll be attending 
an event in a couple of weeks where the feast will center around a whole 
pig, stuffed and cooked over coals. And so far as the reactions are 
concerned, these feasts are much anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed!
