[Sca-cooks] suggestions

[Huette von Ahrens]

Sigh.  I am trying to decide if you are joking or trying to start an argument or
are just naive.  I am leaning towards naive...

You can't go wrong with roast beef or chicken if they are well prepared.

But forget the potatoes and green beans.  They are not period. 
Choose another starch instead.  Rice, frumenty, pasta, bread or yams even.
As for veggies, there are so many to choose from in period, I am astonished
that you would choose one that isn't even remotely period.
There are so many period cookbooks available, why would you want to
serve something so modern?  Do you not have even one period cookbook?
If you don't, please go out and buy one?  There are so many available now
and in paperback so they are very inexpensive, you really need to own at least ONE!!!
If you are afraid to try something period, pick a recipe or two, make it for your
family many times until it becomes comfortable to you.  So that by the time
your feast comes around, you won't be nervous or afraid to make it.  But please,
for the sake of your group, for the spirit of the SCA and for your own reputation,
please forget the potatoes and green beans?
