[Sca-cooks] SCA names

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

It occurred to me that other sources must have mentioned these breads and  
so they have. One idea contradicts that in the original article, which 
suggest  that breads with a masculine descriptor must have been made by men. 
Rather,  other sources say, the larger breads were to be eaten by men, the 
smaller by  women. Which makes sense.

Yet another size was served, uncut, to guests.

This source also adds the interesting note that some bread was cooked  on a 
three-pronged stick.
