Food and Cooking
Most of our events involve demonstrations of historical cooking and food. We use a number of sources for recipes, and try to keep our ingredients as close as possible to those that would have been available at the period being portrayed, and fitting to the scenario being re-enacted. We also try to keep our ingredients as seasonal as possible, as they would have been during medieval times.
We have a fully equipped medieval field kitchen, with an open fire, and all the requisite pots and pans to enable us to cook full meals of several courses. Our 'cook tent' is not a static display - it is a working kitchen, and all of the food cooked will be eaten by members of the society (as the pile of washing up after lunch attests).
By the way, it's a common joke in the group that if you can't find the society 'officers', the first place you should look is the kitchen, where they'll often be found up to their elbows in washing up water!
