[Sca-cooks] Mushroom Paella

[David Friedman]

A subtext perhaps implicit in this thread: SCA oral documentation 
isn't worth the paper it isn't written on. The fact that someone in 
the SCA tells you "this is a period recipe" is very weak evidence 
that it's true, unless you know the person in question is reliable on 
such matters. Which most of the SCA isn't.
