Since the only one of Ras's feasts I've ever eaten was the one with the
emu, I have no idea what he does. (Based on his postings to the list,
however, I wouldn't go on-board for one of his feasts unless I felt like
sampling a bunch of wierd food, rather than eating a dinner with some
wierd food thrown in.) 

I was speaking generally, as I have heard many rumors of feasts all over
the known world with different cooks where ingredients thrown in at the
last minute that weren't publicized to the group. I've also heard
feastocrats complain that it was unreasonable to ask them to publish a
menu and ingredients list beforehand, because they cooked as they went
along.

Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again."
