Thanks for the clarification on the exchange rate. But, in Ansteorra, $8 dollars
(american) is still high unless you are doing a very lavish feast. Most feasts
here cost $5-7. And they are good feasts (usually serving 2 courses). It could be
some food items are cheaper here... I don't know.
I'd love to see some menus from feasts in Lochac! Just to compare notes!
In service,
