[Sca-cooks] MisRepresenting the Outlands was snails....

[Cat .]

Sorry Mirianna,
as a fellow 'Northern Outlander' I have to disagree with you.  
While a feast of only unusual foods might have trouble selling except to a 
select audience,  a feast with tasty period food including some 'unusual' items, 
has no trouble (other than the usual propensity of Outlanders to not reserve in 
advance.

For instance at the last Crown Tournament I cooked for, I included Schmalz (the 
pork drippings version) in the appetizer/on the table nibbles course.  Yes a few 
tables did not touch theirs, but others practically licked the bowls (and yes, 
it was identified in the menu :-)  And no honey butter to be had :-)
