SC - Roast Meats & Dry spice rubs

Amra here, cleaning out the "keepers" file (and saving to more
permanent storage...)

Seems there was a question I missed along the way, one which may
invoke a bit of IKAnthro:

Beatrix, this happens all the time with limited resource tavernas,
lunch boards, and whatever here in Ansteorra. Typically, lunch
tavern is a pay-as-you-go offered by an individual or a house
instead of being included with site fee. *Thankfully* (for the
proprietors) most I have seen appear to "sell out" within a
reasonable time frame.

The general Ansteorran solution to uncertain lunch availability is
that fighters either bring their own day-meal (VERY common for many
of the more experienced combatants) or have their sponsor (lord or
lady whose favor they carry) deal with the tavern/board/off-site
food run. *If* they think that far in advance, and *if* things go
"right", they get fed. (Things going "wrong" may include dogs,
raccoons, small children, & the occasional 'possum in the supply
tent; ice chest lost in transit; und so weiter.)

Most recent event I attended around here was indoors, with lunch
board included in site fee. The board was bare within 45 minutes
after opening, for all practical purposes. Non-fighting,
A&S-oriented baronial college. Feast was good (think I mentioned it
a couple o' weeks back).

In planning an event, my list of things-to-do includes early
decision upon what type of lunch arrangements will be included.
Feeding the Crown & local nobility is de rigeur around these hyar
parts, usually turned over to a special team.  Feeding lunch to the
populace is still a strange and marvelous addition not always
possible to plan for in this kingdom, especially with no-feast,
no-tavern, day-only, remote-location, or any of several other factors.

He can have my share, thank you very much indeed... although I'd not
mind a spoonful to taste, just because I haven't tried *your* version.
