[Sca-cooks] moldable foods, was Saint George and the Dragon

[Stefan li Rous]

<<< What I am looking for are foods I can sculpt easily that were done  
in period. Clay-like foods. Almond paste/marzipan seems to be the best  
and that piece looked very cool. Any suggestions to something period  
would be appreciated. Thank you.

Here are some articles and previous discussions on molded/moldable  
foods.

I assume you aren't restricting your food items to only sweet items,  
correct?
