[Sca-cooks] Local Feast Disappointment

[Joel Lord]

Yeah, ordering people to do something they don't want to do is the fast 
road to driving them away.  Not really helpful.

The component of the original post in this thread that bothered me was 
that the cook in question was not just proud of cooking non-period food, 
but practically gloating about it.  Someone who isn't really into it for 
the historical value is one thing and may just be able to be slowly 
prodded in the right direction.  Someone who is outright _against_ doing 
it right is counter-productive.
