[Sca-cooks] Out of the food topic altogether rant Authenticitypolice

[Terri Morgan]

I seem to have caused some difficulty with my wording...

I was under the impression, thankfully mistaken, that stuffed hard-boiled
eggs, while delicious, did not exist in a medieval/renn cookbook. I haven't
cooked for a group since before I joined this list, so seriously looking at
sources is something I'm only doing now. Having been told by someone older
and wiser than myself that 'devilled eggs and the like are OOP', I mourned
but didn't question. It's delightful to find that I was misinformed.

However... if there is a better phrase for "I like this thing but want to do
what would have been done during the time period/cultures that the SCA's
policy encompasses", I'd appreciate hearing it. But then - studying and
reproducing medieval Arts is *why* I'm in the SCA.
