Nope. But period, as I said, by our usual rules. I know you were
probably just joking, but I have a problem with royalty legislating
that something is period when it isn't. Legislating that they don't
personally have a problem with a particular non-period item is
different. Although as the folks that should be setting an example and
trying to uphold the ideals of the Society, including authenticity, I
don't think they should do this.
If you do some research and find out a good idea of what the Normans
did and didn't eat, I'd love to have it for this Florilegium file:
