Everyone has to eat. One of the most enjoyable things about the S.C.A. are the often extravagant feasts prepared with great care and amazing attention to detail being based on descriptions and recipes of period feasts. Such feasts can run to many courses and last several hours and have food presented of such fine quality and delectable taste that one is surprised at the excellence of such dishes. Some people are so interested in food that they even go to such lengths as making everything from scratch, from beer to cheese. This spoon was a result of a curiosity about how carving such an item might be done.
