In my Barony, the test feast is budgeted as part of the total cost of
the feast unless the Head Cook has tested the dishes out at previous
feasts. I'm in the Middle Kingdom, Pentamere Region, Detroit and
metro-Detroit area.

One upcoming exception would be my Laurel's "family" dinner.
We, the apprentices, are all cooking something for that dinner. This
time is the first time we'll be cooking dishes to be served at an
upcoming feast. It's rather like a potluck where someone says "don't
make the grape jelly and bbq meatballs, make this Apple Muse instead
from this period recipe."
