We're going to get medieval on your cooking

It's happening everywhere, your friends and neighbors are watching movies like Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. They are deep into reading the Game of Thrones Series or more likely they fanatically watch it on HBO. Sometimes they may even go to a medieval themed fair, watching jugglers while gnawing on an oversized turkey leg. And a small but growing group of them are beginning to LARP (Live Action Role Playing).

Made infamous in the comedy Role Models in 2008 LARPing conjures images of geeks holding court in costume at local diners and bashing each other with swords made from pipe insulation and duct tape. Fortunately new improvements in props (swords, shields and armor) have vastly changed this hobby from geek to chic. Thanks to extremely realistic prop weaponry, most players could walk onto the Green Dragon Pub in and fit right in.

What has been lacking is in the cuisine. This is where I introduce myself as your humble host of this blog whose goal is to take LARP cooking to being as in game as much as possible in terms of preparation, look and in especially taste. If it’s not delicious we’re not making it here.
