Aldyth,
I am going to chop you missive into some main pieces and let me know if this
what you meant.
1. - Seriously, though, I don't pay much attention. I just cook, and they
eat.
2 - Last year at a feast I did, when the last course came back almost
untouched...
3 - That doesn't bother me at all.
The reason I am asking is for some reason it bothers me when food comes back
uneaten. If it comes back untouched because it sucks -- then I "feel
bad/sad/whatever" that the populace was served yucky food.
If it comes back because the dish was wonderful, but populace was "too full"
to eat it...it still bothers me.
In both cases, I feel that I have spent the group's money unwisely. I want
the populace to eat their fill, but not have too much waste. Is this a
contradiction or an impossibility?

have robbed them of the will to eat."
That doesn't bother me at all. I usually troll the hall asking people who
have no idea I am the cook what they liked the most, and least. It is not
particularly important to be paraded out by the Royals for the atta boys, at
least for me.
I am really proud of my guildmembers though. They have really worked hard
on
the A&S feast we are doing this Saturday. I will be able to grin from ear
to
ear on Saturday knowing that I am NOT the cook in charge, and it worked
anyhow.
