New World Foods- was Re: [Sca-cooks] Earthapples eyc

[Samrah]

Thanks again Phlip.  Never had a problem with honesty (or laziness).  Have had horrible problems feeding family.  Some can be real fusspots to feed.  I don't allow obviously non-period foods in my personal encampment.  No chocolate.  No potato chips, junk food, etc.  No exceptions.  And, I always make a distinction as to what is proper SCA food vs. real period food.  
 
SCA food, to me, is food that reasonably might have been, not chocolate cheesecake, but I could believe some sort of spiced cheese or cheeseball type product or the as yet undocumented stuffed grapeleaves.  It makes a distinction between making an attempt and doing real research and period work (in order to give proper homage to those of you who do that sort of thing).  Personal opinion is everyone in the Society should make an attempt.  
 
Served a stew last war with potatoes and corn in it for the 1st time since I have been in the SCA.  Just my lord & I, informal late night, but felt dirty some how....

are.
