For an article Gideanus wrote on the subject, see

Pies and quiches can work very well.  My wife's old group in Midrealm
used to bring in extra cash by selling lunch on-site at other groups'
events (naturally, by prior agreement with said other group's steward
and chef), and their staples included spinach tarts (a la Miscellany)
and Emberday tarts (Miscellany also? I forget).
