Smarty. But anything with "hempseed" in it is out as well, even thought
there is no "active ingredient" in the seeds even in the THC-bearing
strains. Hempseed appears at various times within the medieval cookery
corpus. Cannabis leaf or resin in food mostly makes it taste bad... I
can find you the actual Alice B. Toklas hash brownie recipe if you like.
Her instructions have you simmering the hashish resin in the butter,
capturing the oil-soluble compounds, straining it and then using butter
in a brownie recipe as usual. I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS but I can see how
it would work on a theoretical level.
I don't have much to argue about amongst the rest of the list, several
of which are New World and have no business in a SCA cooking contest
entry anyway [American Elder, etc.]
