SC - Feeding Fighters

[RichSCA at aol.com]

Some fighters want and need to eat before they fight, but sometimes the 
logistics just don't work out for them (without some prior planning).   They 
wake up, wash, dress get out on the field for armor inspection... which goes 
on and on and on... they they figure they might as well just stay there and 
fight pick-ups or wait for the list to start. 

For these fighters, when I was autocrat (and sometimes as the Event Cook) we 
offered "Breakfast on the Field".   Had pita bread filled with scrambled egg, 
cheese, onions, bacon (or a combination of some) and wrapped them in foil.  
Sent them out to the field, at Armor Inspection time, via helpful teenagers 
with baskets that also carried fresh fruit and water.  (oftentimes armor 
inspection starts 1-2 hours before the List so seldom is one eating and 
rushing onto the field)   I always got great feedback from the fighters and 
their support groups for this.  :-)

<< And as HE List Poppa pointed out, some fighters don't want to eat much of 
anything while they are fighting.  You'll find that the lunch grazing is 
light, but they will love you if snacks are available right after the tourney 
or battle is over for the day.
