[Sca-cooks] Middle Eastern Food-no, it isn't, yes it is

[Ian Kusz]

This isn't going to be another one of THOSE discussions, is it?

I want you to teach a class on medieval cooking.

Okay, we'll use Rumpolt and The Ladies' Home Journal.

Um.....The Ladies' Home Journal isn't period.

Oh....okay, then we'll use Escoffier and The Ladies' Home Journal.

Um....like I said, The Ladies' Home Journal isn't period.

Okay...let's do Apicius and The Ladies' Home Journal.

NO!  I KEEP TELLING YOU....

Boy, you're being difficult.  Le Menagier and The Ladies' Home Journal?



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH (crashing
sounds)
