[Sca-cooks] Recipe Deal Breakers

[jenne at fiedlerfamily.net]

When I first started cooking SCA-period recipes, almond milk was a deal
breaker. Then it was pie crusts (I still don't make my own). Now... I
couldn't tell you for sure what my deal breakers are, except maybe lamb,
brains, and most offal. Anyone else have 'deal breakers' in period
recipes?
