<<< well, there's a new war in the Outlands july 4th weekend -
BATTLEMOOR: Mountain Crusades. it looks to be great fun.
it is located pretty much in the middle of the kingdom,
and i believe the first try at doing such an event where
all the baronies pitch in to help. i am coordinating the
siege cooking. >>>
Please remember to give us a review of how the siege cooking competition goes.
<<< Outlandish is coming up memorial day weekend, and i am
teaching Roman Cuisine and will be participating in the
siege cooking. >>>
And even if you aren't coordinating a siege cooking competition, reviews and comments from the participants are nice to get as well. This request applies to others, and not just Cailte.
Just in case someone has recently joined this group and is unaware of what a siege cooking contest is, or in case you'd like to review some previous events before you compete, I do have these files in the CELEBRATIONS AND EVENTS section of the Florilegium:

Just in case you get the wrong idea, siege cooking is not a food fight. It is definitely different from this: (Besides, this is in a different section :-)
siege-engines-msg (98K) 1/10/08 Catapults, trebuchets. Period and modern.

Watermelons rather than tennis ball pyramids would add a whole new feature to SCA combat scenarios, though...
