SC - SC Feast n the law

[Charles McCN]

If it comes to a legal argument we are feeding them for money. I think 
the point at which that occurs is when you put food on a plate, but it is 
certainly the case if we are doing preparation of any sort.

If we were organising a private dinner party amongst a group of friends, 
it may be different. But where it _can_ be construed as a public event, 
we have a legal problem. (Of course it also depends where you are. But in 
Australia and Europe, and I suspect in North America, there are legal 
guidelines.) The situation may be analagous to a cricket clubhaving a 
fundraiser BBQ. I think mostpeople ignore it, but should a litigious 
person get food-poisoning...
