I like this idea. That would take care of nibblers, and the rest could "pound 
up" on what they really enjoyed. Would give a basis for what the "crowd 
pleasers" were, too. Mental note taking of what dishes came back licked clean 
could be stored for next feast. One thing I can't abide is being talked into 
a really nice dish with expensive ingredients and then no one eats it because 
it is so different they don't want to try it. I believe that is why when they 
did the cookoff here, they used fish. Fish in Aten is considered a non-food. 
This kind of cooking would also give me a chance to try out some dishes in 
advance on my hubby. He, and many of the men in my barony, believe they eat 
nothing that flys in the sky or swims in the ocean....
