Okay.  For a bit I was getting worried.  I have cooked for 250 at the
holiday season, before my mom passed on.  I was remembering the Ansteorran
20th year w/ 1000 places for feast and I was thinking  HELP.  :)
A hundred to a hundred fifty.  I guess I better start stocking my pantry?
Their Excellencies are Viking personas, yes?
Do they usually prefer a feast that is geared more to their personas?
Pork, Plums and mead? I don't do that porridge stuff,   yuk!
