I'd estimate the food cost of a Medieval Times dinner to be =
something in the neighborhood of $2.50, soft drinks included, total cost =
with labor, etc, at maybe $4.25. To be really honest (and I've been =
there 3 times) they serve food that's low-grade Holiday Inn. Yeah, =
there's a lot of atmosphere, but that's about it. They hustle you in and =
out like you're on a bus tour.
What you're paying for more than anything else is the floor show, =
much like any other entertainment club. If you're a rube who knows no =
better, it's a load of fun, but if you're a SCAdian, you'll roll your =
eyes a lot, and be inclined to make nasty comments. Which is probably =
why the management doesn't like the SCA very much . . .
To them, it's Bidnis. To us, it's art, and the difference is vast, =
indeed.

Yes. I would imagine that considering how much food and the quality =
and=20
variety one usually gets for such a small price at an SCA feast, in=20
comparison, the dinner (feast?) at Medieval Times I bet would be far =
more=20
expensive for what you get. I'm a little curious as to how much it =
costs to=20
be subjected to it.... ;-)
