[Sca-cooks] Feasts and liability

[Patricia Dunham]

Hmm. How do you suppose this would apply, if at all, to the common demo display of period spices, where you offer an array of twigs and "berries" and "powders" and the "guess what this is" question; and then (somehow hygienically) allowing people to "taste", or at least smell up close? Since you CAN get serious allergic reactions (i.e. my long-time member husband has an anaphylactic reaction to infinitesimal amounts of cinnamon; which he does not recall being reactive to as a child...)

just thinking... it's not exactly feast but is related.
