[Sca-cooks] salads and stuffed olives

<<< With so many good SCA cooks, I think I would need to answer "Most  
anything
I've tried."  But if I'm going to narrow it down--currently I am  
intrigued
by salats and learning about all the different things that went into  
them. >>>

After reading some of the other comments in the thread on vegetables  
I realized that the question was broader than I originally thought it  
was. So I, too, would list mushrooms and salads as my favorite period  
vegetables. I actually prefer most medieval green salads to the  
modern ones I usually get at restaurants. Field greens are so much  
better than Iceburg lettuce.

Hmmm. Okay, stuffed olives are another favorite, but I don't remember  
if these are period.

   (Okay, I don't find any evidence or recipes for stuffed olives in  
the Florilegium. Anyone know of any evidence for these in period?)
