[Sca-cooks] Bad Cooking at Feasts - was Re: good taste

[tom.vincent at yahoo.com]

That's what I was thinking, too.  Several people said something like 'good documentation cannot compensate for bad cooking'...I can think of overcooked-to-the-point-of-mush veggies or charred-on-the-outside-frozen-on-the-inside steaks as 'bad cooking'...
 
A local 'Cajun' (and I use that term loosely) restaurant actually prepares jambalaya with crisp (non-sauteed) celery, which I found jarring, not innovative.
 
So, what are some examples of 'bad cooking' folks have encountered at SCA feasts?

Is not good taste in the mouth of the taster?  Just
becase I do NOT like a particular food, cannot stand
the taste no matter how prepared, does not mean that
it does not taste good to someone else.  

(Mom used to stick me with fixing the shrimp and the
salmon for parties because she knew now of it would
get "tasted', but on the other hand she couldn't trust
any of us to shell nuts -- it would take us hours to
get a cupfull for her cooking.)
