[Sca-cooks] Christmas feast for the public

We've found that the Digby recipe for Savory Toasted Cheese is ALWAYS a
winner.  You could either do it the way the recipe suggests, which is as a
kind of fondue...using sippets of bread to dip in the cheesy goo...or you
could do as it is done in the SCA most frequently, which is to steam
veggies, pour the cheese goo over the top along with some crumbled bacon,
brown in the oven and serve.

Either way is a tremendous hit...or at least it has been for us.

Sallets are always good....not to mention something like Macrows, which come
across as either a cheese lasagna or macaroni and cheese.  For dessert, you
might try gingerbread...or perhaps daryoles.
