[Sca-cooks] What constitutes modern food

[Linda Peterson]

I must be in the SCA too long, I'm American and knew what a meat pie was. 
Interestingly, turnovers in our family were the same half-moon shape as 
meat pies, but were pan-fried instead of baked. Here in New Mexico the 
local element in most any savory meat pie would be green chile. It is a 
modern food element that gets snuck into other wise SCA period camp chow 
for those that jones for it like chocolate.
