Neat SCA Feast

A group out in Atenveldt recently held a feast in the manner of an English nobleman from the late 1500s. They had appropriate garb for the servers, made the plates and drinking vessels and knives...really impressive. They even built benches for the feasters and a brick oven for the cooking. I wish they had been able to use candlelight for even more period effect. I'm curious to know how much attendees had to pay! If you are a foodie it would be worth the extra cost. I would love to put on or even just attend a similar Italian Ren feast.The group putting on the event has a LiveJournal, so you can visit [livejournal.com profile] sundragon_cooks  for more details. Also, you can visit this link for many photos, mostly of garb.

A group did something similar in the West last year (or the year before?) -- they called it the Perfectly Period Feast. Sadly, I didn't go. Fail! I hear it was amazing.

Can I quote that whole paragraph above (with credit of course) on the Trimaris Arts and Sciences Network Medieval Cooking group? I started it a few months back and am always looking for content. Also, as an ex-pat you are of course welcome to join!
