A legend in the mundane culinarry world has passed on. The lesson he left behind, food binds us. It binds us in all we do, we all have to eat. It can be an ice breaker, it can be the cement for a long lasting relationship and it can open doors for cultural exchange.
In the SCA we engage in many ways, textiles, stories, fighting, but we all need to eat. In our hobby exploring and honouring cultural ideas and identities that are foreign to us not only in geography but in time, is not only cool but encouraged, discussed and enjoyed. In the end we all need to eat. I can only hope that the food I make in a small way helps facilitate this sort of openness and exchange.
