I know that one of the northern Misty groups -- Wolfscairn or Vinhold -- regularly holds a siege cookoff at one of their local events, but it's such a small event that I don't think many people know about it.
The cookoff was really impressive. The High Theatre was worth all the hard work (well, okay, I didn't really do any of the hard work), and the food was just amazing.
One of my favorite moments was Team Sienese (Francesca's team), who stuck a long sprig of rosemary into the ground and, when they saw the judging team approaching, pulled it out saying (in a very loud theatrical whisper) "Oh, pick that naturally-growing rosemary and put it on this plate here!"
And the fact that most of the teams got together afterward to trade notes just made my little laurel heart go all a-flutter. Juana asked me what it would take to get mastersantiago to run the competition again, and I told her it would just take people telling him they had fun and would like him to run it again. Later, I realized I could have asked her for Stuff. Oh, well. :)
