[Sca-cooks] Adding to the melted cheese recipes ...

[Judith L. Smith Adams]

I see an A&S entry here:  Contestant rides in with full saddlebags and cheeses slung wherever they should be slung, dismounts with a flourish, and serves up a traveler's mini-feast...  Bread and cheese and wine... Other goodies?   Maybe even starts a fire and cooks up the melted cheese goo...  Have to be fast-starter...  Haven't tried it, and  suspect it'd be tricksy, but it's a nice thought.

  Yum! cheese and garlic, what could possibly be bad?
