Serving Dishes Re: SC - Re: The Perfect Feast

[Olwen the Odd]

Here in Bright Hills, the Barony owns some of the cooking and serving ware, 
and where that leaves off, the Cook's Guild has bought much of the rest.  
Some does come from private sources but most is owned by the Guild or the 
Barony.  We do agree that a good feast is more than food slapped down in 
front of a gentle, but a feast for the eye and senses as well.

As for me, and I don't think I speak alone from here, presentation and a few 
surprises and subtlty are nice additions to any feast.
