[MR] Pride of Atlantia seen in South Downs, Meridies...

[Elaine Koogler]

Good Gentles,
It seems that our very own Master Chirhart, along with his lady wife, 
Mistress Jeanne de Bec, did Atlantia proud at an Iron Chef competition 
held in the Barony of South Downs, Meridies.  To quote my source of 
information:

...Team Atlantia did a beautiful job of presentation, both in the serving
platters and as individual portions on the plates.  They served 7 dishes,
including lamb kabobs with an almond garlic sauce, a cabbage salad with a
pommegranate and almond sauce, a stuffed cabbage head with lamb, almonds,
raisins and saffron?, and pear slices sauteed in lard, sprinkled with
almonds and topped with a ground almond quennelle that had also been fried
in the lard.  It was served with almond mus.  Everything was wonderful,
although the stuffed cabbage head was my least favorite, being on the really
good but not fantastic side.  They used a variety of sources including Libre
del Coche and Rumpolt....

...The final winner was Team Atlantia.  They were presented 
with some lovely six-drawer spice boxes in court, the other teams receiving small 
pottery pitchers for each member.  They were judged with a 0-10 scale on
presentation, period-ness, secret ingredient, and taste.


Congratulations to our winning team!!
