I love interkingdom anthropology, too.  So I have a question for you.  How do
you serve your feasts that you can mix on and off-board at one table?  Here
in the East, we generally serve enough for one table in a bowl or platter and
all the people at the table divide it up.  Usually  the table will seat eight
people so we provide enough food in the serving dish for eight.  If you have
on and off board mixed, how do you determine how many serving dishes to serve
where???
