We had it done once last fall, I beleive at Celtic New Year's Massacre, but 
I could be wrong on the event.  Lord Alessandro was seated for feast, but 
would stand and read a poetical description of the next few dishes before 
the servers brought them out. Quite nice, better if the populace would have 
quieted more so we could hear.  We aren't used to interrupting our 
conversations during feast in this part of Atlantia though, entertainments 
and such during feast are not usual.

Bonne
