Premise:

You have been surrounded and cut off in a Siege for months, your supplies
are at an all time low, THIS IS IT, the besieger have sent in negotiators,
powerful Barons, to appraise the situation, the hall has been freshened,
only the healthiest looking are allowed out and about, all the animals (who
cares that the cow has just dried up) are put in places to be seen, and it
is up to YOU (your Baron has made this abundantly clear) the humble cook to
pull of the last bit of artful delusion, serve a Grand Feast, using
practically no food.  .....
