[Phlip]

>For an SCA "family" potluck, find a dish using these guidelines:
>-- The name of the dish must start with the first initial of your first
>name or the first initial of your last name. You cannot use your middle
>name if you have one. >-- You must use your SCA name.
>-- You must make enough of this dish to feed 20 people.

Pear mustard, of course, probably served with a Pork Roast (maybe and entire
Piglet?), and maybe some Peas. And, of course, a Fence of butter.

Perhaps, a Pear tart for dessert?

Sabina Welserin, 1553

34 To make the mustard for dried cod

Take mustard powder, stir into it good wine and pear preserves and put sugar
into it, as much as you feel is good, and make it as thick as you prefer to
eat
it, then it is a good mustard.

40 To make a dish of peas

Cook peas so that they become mushy, put them in a colander and strain as
for
almond milk. Strain saffron, ginger and cinnamon with it. Then it looks like
a
worm. Sprinkle sugar over it and serve it cold.

53 To make a fence out of butter

Take butter or May butter and sugar, knead it in, so that it becomes sweet,
and
then take an icing bag and fence it around. The fence posts that go with it,
make from cinnamon sticks. Also there belongs inside the fence, roasted fish
or
whatever you have that is good.

73 A pear tart

Take pears and peel them and cut them into thin strips, take beef marrow,
cinnamon, sugar and raisins and let it bake. If you do not have any marrow
then
use butter or another fat.

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
