[Sca-cooks] Affording a period feast

[Terry Decker]

Germany imports roughly 1/3 of it's wheat flour, so flour runs about 50 to 
100% higher than here, depending on quantities and timing.  Meat runs 1/3 to 
1/2 more expensive.  Vegetables appear to be a little cheaper and overall 
food prices are lower.  Tax on some exempted foods is 7%, otherwise the VAT 
is 19%.  Fuel and utilities are considerably higher than the U.S.

Why would the ingredients for a period feast be more expensive in Europe
than for a non-period feast? You can do period recipes with flour, pork,
chicken, cabbage, ...  .
