Tomatoes at a feast: Ix-nay OMHO. Bananas at a dayboard: not so bad.
Ditto all of the above :-)
You know my POV, that a feast is meant to be eaten. :-)
I'll bet you recall the reaming I took on teh Cook's Guild List when I dared served POTATOES based on Rumpolt's "ertepfel" recipe because Hanse in his whims declared that "meat and potatoes should be served at every feast".
This isn't a case of Do as I Say Not as I Do, but more like you acknolwedging that something you might make is not 100% period, but SCA usage (and EK usage as well) has made it acceptable. You're not trying to pass it off as period, only offering certain things as part of a board that does include period documented foods.
Of course, when I think that the orders of Pelican and Laurel have no real basis in period and were created of whole cloth for our usage, I can only smile.
You're doing fine, you're not a hypocrite, and anyone who feels that way about you or your food probably goes off-board for McDonald's anyhow :-P
