Okay half a pound per person allowing shrinkage in cooking, about a quarter
to a third pound per person.    Sorry that should be enough.

We are supposed to be reenacting the Gentry and Royally of the Middle Ages,
they would eat meat at tourneys, which is what we are recreating, I would
never want to eat a feast of everyday people food, from Period, Gruel, stale
bread, and the very occasional piece of fruit.

I understand the cost of the food issue, do you have a packing plant near
Jeff City?  If so call them and see what kind of deal you can get from them,
cheaper than going to the SuperMarkup Supermarket.
Also don't ask any Gov't employees that you might know there to get the
meat, they can't do it.
One of the First things Beatrix found out.

Also is there a Fishmonger in Jeff City or Columbia you could get the Salmon
from?    This would save you a bunch of cost, if you can get it direct.
