Serena da Riva said (to Madhavi, I think):
<<< If you want any recommendations of things that would work for potluck
please feel free to drop me a line and I can send you some. >>>

I think I may have asked a similar question here before, but I think we got swept off into other subjects.

Serena, I'd like to get your list of suggested dishes for pot lucks.

The same for others. What dishes might you suggest for an SCA event pot luck? My preference would be those for folks new to period cooking. My barony usually has a pot luck Yule Revel with the barony furnishing various roast meats. This year we got a few more period dishes than usual. Often it is just myself and one or two others that make the effort. 

I would like to create a file of recipes that I could refer folks new to period cooking to.

I have made wafers for pot lucks several times in the past, but for our Shire's and our Barony's Yule pot lucks this year, I added "Snow" to the wafers and that seemed to go over especially well. Several years ago, my attempt at making "snow" didn't go very well. This year I followed the directions better and didn't mix all the ingredients together and then try to whip it, but kept the egg whites and the cream separate and mixed each pair of ingredients separately and then combined them. Okay, Duh. Just takes some of us a bit longer to learn...

I took home some wafers and some snow from the Shire event, but only a crumbled wafer or two from the baronial event and no snow. They were wiping out the little bit remaining with their fingers!
