You or someone said there were already a lot of Middle Eastern feasts.

I asked if those feasts were historical or modern.

The way you have phrased your reply leads me to assume that there are 
already too many SCA-period Middle Eastern feasts.

This puzzles me, as i am on quite a few SCA-Middle Eastern oriented 
e-mail lists and i hear about a great many more modern feasts than 
SCA-period based ones.

I am additionally puzzled by the second part of your reply.
>  There is so much more available text   ;*>
I gather from the emoticon that you're making a joke, but, well, i 
guess i've been eating too much tuna lately and the mercury is 
effecting my thought processes, because i don't "get" it.

Clearly there are many more modern resources than historical sources. 
However, while only a limited number of historical books are 
available in English, there are actually a lot of historical recipes 
(some of those books have a lot of recipes).

If you are tired of historically based Middle Eastern cuisine, i will 
not bother to post my list of available historical resources with my 
comments.

If you meant the opposite (as jokes sometimes do), then please 
clarify... and i will post my list.
