[Sca-cooks] Period foods for non-SCA pot lucks

[Stefan li Rous]

Aruvqan suggested:
<<< Armored turnips, loseyns, makke, the eggplant pancakes from al-Andalusi, 
isfanakh mutajjan, beef y-stewed, gingerbread and Digby's cheesy spoo. >>>

Thanks. One of the things I was thinking about, but didn’t say explicitly was that the dishes shouldn’t be so weird that they scare folks off of period food. So I understand that comment about hiding the note card until later.

I’m not at all sure about that eggplant pancakes, myself. :-)

I had to look up what “makke” was. Google was no help, but the Florilegium had some entries. :-)  Did you make this with canned fava beans? Or did you find some fresh ones?

I have done gingerbread for demos, and it does go over well. 

Thanks,
  Stefan
