[Sca-Cooks] Pasties article in the new T.I.

[David Friedman]

1. Anyone competent at doing serious SCA research could have caught 
that one--the author was perfectly open about what she had done, 
starting with a description of how she encountered Cornish pasties 
and liked them. It required zero specialized knowledge to realize the 
combining a modern pastry crust with a 14th century mushroom pie and 
shaping it like a Cornish pasty did not produce anything one had any 
reason to think was period.

2. Long ago we were asked if we were willing to do referreeing on 
recipes. No articles (One C.A. I think) came to us.

3. This T.I., at least, appears to have no letters column--just 
letters from the people producing it.

4. I emailed the managing editor, because I know here; but I gather 
from the T.I. that she turns into a pumpkin at the end of this month. 
(Lagenaria not Cucurbita, of course).
