[Sca-cooks] What constitutes modern food

[Stefan li Rous]

Ian suggested:

<<< Oh, well, I agree, most of the time, but I think private meals in  
your
campsite are a special case, don't you?  I mean, I want to give  
something to
my crew that doesn't break the "reality" we're trying to create, but  
it's
not for public review and appreciation.

So, the crew will appreciate eating foods that would have been  
available at
the time, and they'll put any variations under "creative license," or,
"perhaps this cook just didn't publish." >>>

I don't happen to see a need to come up with excuses or convoluted  
explanations as to why they might have done something.

At the Nobles Luncheon I served last fall, for the portion celebrating  
30 years ago, I served good, soft white rolls, along with some sliced,  
roasted beef and some sliced cheeses. If some folks decided to slice  
open the roll, smear it with some of the mustard or horseradish sauce  
which was nearby and stick some of the beef and cheese inside the  
roll, really, that was their concern. I was rather too busy to snicker  
about their poor manners. Besides the Nobles at least, outranked me.   
I was busy serving up the more traditional chicken legs with vinegar  
sauce and the pork and cheese hand pies and other items to those who  
weren't playing with their food.
