[Ansteorra] food safety was Re: Underage Participation In The SCA

[Richard Threlkeld]

You need to use a certified kitchen if you charge for the food (IMHO after
reading a lot of law - however, I am not a lawyer). However, that can be a
field kitchen under a tent in the middle of nowhere. The standards you must
follow relate to hand washing, grey water disposal, handling of raw food,
etc. You can do all that correctly in nearly any kitchen though you may have
to bring in tubs to augment their sinks or other such equipment. I have
gotten legal paperwork for a kitchen on a scout camp that was under a tent.
