Well, Although I don't have much experience with
feasts, I have worked in catering for the last 15
years and my experience tells me that looking in the
garbage cans will give you a fairly good estimation as
to whether people like your dish. Also, If you know
people at the event that you trust, you could try
asking thier honest opinion.

The painful warrior famoused for fight,
After a thousand victories once foil'd,
Is from the book of honour razed quite,
And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd:
