I did my best to try it all.
I enjoyed everything I sampled, and thought the flavor balances were good.
There was great balance between the serious and the light food.
The chickens were cut in an interesting fashion. Made sense, but was a little confusing.
The radish sallat was good when we arrived, but got stronger and stronger... yipes! I'll be serving this all summer, but not preparing it in advance. Thank you for introducing me to it.

The garlic pie, frumenty, apple pie and roasted pears were all exceptional. I enjoyed them each as remarkably good examples of their type.
The beef stew tasted very nice, but I think the bones were perhaps challenging for some.

Please pass him my compliments, I would like very much to have any of his dishes again at any event.

MMM made quince paste before and so enjoyed it (was surprised on just how red it turned), sadly quince are so hard to come by here :(

You forgot the Garlic Pie!!! mmmmmmm....

btw, can you get that recipe for me?

[yasmeanie.livejournal.com]

Sounds wonderful. I wish I had been able to go to the event.
Jaji mentioned the food was good. Can't wait to see what my brother has planned for Balfar's this weekend. Will I see you there?

It was very good.

I'm interested in that garlic torta recipe, too, and the roasted pears.

~sigh~

I so miss dayboards. People here look at me as if I've suggested wearing polyester chausses when I talk about dayboards . . . They are so benighted . . .

Tell us of this radish salat?

For we have a great tendency to grow far more radishes than my wee foursome could consume, and Coldwood could always use some more veggies on the table.

Recipe? Pretty please?

Honey butter? Interesting. He and I are of the same mind on that. However, at Balfar's TRM's are getting a small bowl of it in the Royal tent per their request.
The poor schlubs below the salt are getting butter and honey and they can spread it themselves! :-P

Please ask him to post recipes somewhere!

Off-topic, but...

Do you check your gmail account listed on your website? I'm trying to get in touch with you regarding a present for someone, as discussed at Northern Lights.

Ok... non-SCAdian here... but I do like food! :D So, I am wondering what some things are on your listy here! What are frumenty, daryal, and salat?

And can I have recipes for some of these wonderful things? The garlic pie people mentioned (the garlic torta?), macrews (who doesn't love mac & cheese?), and walnut pie?

And how do you dry cantaloupe? Sounds delish!

The only reason(s) that I didn't take any of the good food home - was:

1) sinus migraine coming on about an hour before the end of the event. (by the next morn it was gone)

2) I was going to Philly for the day - Sun -and then going on home to Eastern NJ and couldn't guarantee food safety on the trip.

What I can remember through the drug haze and the fiber overload -- was one word

WOW!!!!!!
