Iohannes asked:
<<< speaking of...what would happen if i submitted a gilded marzipan  
subtlety of say, a fish...as an entry? >>>

Well, if the competition was on leatherwork or dance, you might get  
some strange looks.

If you are looking for suggestions on entering food into A&S contests,  
you might want to look at this file in the CELEBRATIONS AND EVENTS  
section of the Florilegium.

There are also a number of articles in this same section on how to do  
documentation for A&S contests, in general.

Of course there is something about using a real fish as well. See the  
various files on fish in the FOOD-MEATS section.
