I also went to the feast, but was unable to stay for the last course
because it
was past my smalls bedtime and they were getting very cranky.

I agree the food I did eat was quite good, but could have been served
warmer.
It was nice to see the source for each of the dishes given out in the
feast menu.
I compared the dish I was eating to the source noted in the menu. I was
also
glad to see them note specific changes that they made, Like using
chicken instead
of rabbit. I later asked one of the cooks, I do not know the gentles
name, why the
made that particular substitution, he said that rabbit wasn't popular in
the
barony. 

The one dish that I was served that did not come out as I expected
according to 
the source provided was the asparagas dish. We were served aspargas with
a cheese
sauce. Whereas I expected to see a cheese sauce with aspargas in it on a
piece of
toast. This was probably the single dish that really needed to be served
quite
warm.

I wish I was able to stay for the rest of the feast.
