How do medieval-themed restaurants get it wrong?
Myth No. 1: Medieval food was bland.Myth No. 2: Medieval chefs were lousy when it came to presentation.
Myth No. 3: Medieval feasts were merely big
Myth No. 4: Medieval feasters ate off pewter plates.
Myth No. 6: Medieval feasters ate in set courses.
Myth No. 7: Medieval people ate food they couldn't possibly have eaten.

Umm I have always wondered why medieval restaurants and fairs always serve those giant turkey legs. Turkeys weren't known in Europe in the dark ages, They are American in origin. I don't think turkeys made it back into Europe until the Rennisance, which although often confused with the medieval era actually occurred about 800 years earlier...
darmak + gilard at tanagra,
in my extensive travels, SCA experience, and autodidactic mystikal quests,i have found renaissance fayres serving turkey wings as a "renaissance" treat imported from the new worlds.
there's no excuse for the so called medieval tymes making such a gross error. they should serve fly laden gruel only.
The actual name is "The Epic of Gilgamesh"
It makes me SOOOOOO mad when people don't get things right!
re:
Medeival Times Post.
They serve Toaster Streudel as dessert
Dear anony mouse
I think "codename:gilgamesh" is double referrent as it were, to both a moderately obscure study from project blackscope's (aka bionic unit alpha) work on physical/robotic body enhancements and the "EPIC OF GILGAMESH" that you guzzled down in HS.
It's just a guess!!!
This post proves you are super smart regarding "The Epic of Gilgamesh" and only moderatly smart regarding robotic body movements
Don't blame me
Blame the google machine!!!
And X-tian rock.
It also proves that they really need to add spell check to the comments section
