[Sca-cooks] Period Greek Recipes

[Vitaliano Vincenzi]

yes, sorry, I didn't mention that, my fault. Not really sure exactly 
what time period, but the rest of the feast is early 15th Century, so I 
would probably stick to that time. I want something that is recognizable 
in the modern world if possible, but that is not a requirement. It also 
needs to be something that would be inexpensive to prepare for 100 
people. :)
