[Ansteorra] A thought about why people leave for feast... other than the ones stated already.

[Thora Olafsdottir]

A couple of tuppence from my direction......    While it is important to
make sure that a feast one eats is paid in full, I don't see any problem
with bringing ones own if one has allergies or lack of money.  Have a
seat where available.  Tell the server that comes to your group "no thank
you we brought our own" and proceed to keep good company with the other
attendees.  I believe after all is said, most would agree above all we
are more concerned with having one's company rather than one's cash.
