[Sca-cooks] Documentation "Fun"...was "Potatoes and personalissues"

[Tom Vincent]

Agreed.  If SCA stood for Society for Catering Activities or Society for 
Culinary Adventures, 'good dishes' (a relative term) could be served 
with impunity.

Being able to share your academic research showing that your 'good dish' 
was served at the coronation of King Umdeump in 1245 helps set the scene 
and the mood.

Fodder for good conversations, too.

The new Tom Hanks film is based on a book full of lies, deceit & corruption.  
It's also based on Dan Brown's "The daVinci Code"
