[Sca-cooks] Sugar and cheese

Ardenia asked:
> 2. Anyone have a good recipe for "Rock Candy"?
Hmmm. Anyone know if this is period? Or if not, when it was first made? 
The basic technique seems so easy as to be obvious, but then so does 
that of a sandwich.

PS: I did hear an interesting theory though, at a Gulf Wars class, that 
sandwiches weren't done in period because the bread did not have much 
rise because of the hardness of the wheat. And thus it made a bread 
that was too dense or perhaps just not tall enough, to be sliced 
conveniently into sandwich slices. I'm not at all sure about this 
theory, but I do feel there is some reason, other than they just didn't 
think of it, that sandwiches weren't done in period.
