[Sca-cooks] what's wierd-ish, what isn't

[Irmgart Hasenschlaf]

about sekanjabin: depends on where you are... I think I've had it
twice in two years (at a feast, anyway). Much better in my opinion
than instant iced tea or lemonade often served. Not that I *mind* much
that those are served, but not quite my idea of "right" either...

Honestly, I didn't see anything on that list that I would consider
"weird" except perhaps the green pies... but even that's not
*horribly* weird.

and the lentil dish at Rapier Academie Oct 30 in Atlantia went over
*relatively* well... except that it didn't *quite* get all the way
done *mutters to self: I knew we should have started it sooner*
