Jousting, Pudding, and Muffins

       I was just watching a bit on the ABC latenight news show _World News Now_ about the first woman to compete in the American Jousting Alliance, and it hit me that I've never heard of jousting existing in Glorantha. Does it? One would supposed that the folk in the West would go for it, but that's just assuming, "hey, they're knights, they gotta joust!".

        Phillip Hibbs noted that Black Pudding is not only one of those bizarre British foods (scariest American food, the drink "Moxie") but also an AD&D monster. I note that it's a 10 hit die thing; how close is that to real life? :)

        This inspires the thought, what about food that you have to fight while eating it? I had such a thing in one game; if you didn't kill it quickly it killed you. I suppose to trolls this might be a normal meal, but do other Gloranthans have such dangerous delicacies?

         Phillip Hibbs also wondered what an "English Muffin" was; having once had "crumpets" I'd say that they're something like that.
