SC - Price of butter

[Christine A Seelye-King]

This brings me back to an issue I have visited before because of this
very phenomena.  How does one do a feast for prices we set in the 70's or
80's (5 - 6 dollars a head - does that sound about average for everybody?
  - and .50 - 1.00 for breakfasts?)  with market costs fluctuating so
high?   Get ready for a whole new wave of it, don't look for the cost of
bananas and coffee to get much cheaper for a year at least. (Not period
food examples, admittedly, but staples, nonetheless.) Honduras et al will
probably be re-building for quite some time in the wake of Mitch. 
	I don't really want to re-start the whole "cost of playing in the
SCA" debate, I will always think it is the cheapest, best way to spend my
time,  but we do have to look at rising costs.  What to do with the food?
	Hmm, 
	Christianna
