If you have an active bard's guild, invite one or more of them to the feast.
Both of you can use the same test audience to practice on. ;-)  The other
alternative, is to use "canned bard".  Invite your friends over to watch and
discuss _which_ Three Musketeers (Robin Hood, Romeo and Juliet etc.) movie is 
the best ever made.  Contrary to what you may think, SCAdians WILL watch
several re-makes of the same movie in a row.  You won't even have to tell 
them they're testing the feast "Well, of course I cooked!  You didn't think 
I was going to let all of you go hungry did you?" ;-)  One caveat:  When the
archers decided to choose the Best Robin Hood Picture Ever, they ALL brought
their favorites and ended up watching EIGHT movies finishing up around 3 AM!
(Hey, you could test BREAKFAST recipes too! ;-)
