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.
