[Sca-cooks] Encouraging Period Cooking

[Stefan li Rous]

Juana Isabella suggested:
<<< Changing the cultural attitudes of a kingdom is often a lengthy process. This includes the negative attitudes toward period food.

Make very tasty food and be generous with it. Only after the tasters have eaten it and been pleased do you tell them that it is period. i.e. fool them into liking period food :-) >>>

This is something that has worked in some areas, which we've discussed here before:
