Gunthar, do you think you could get her to write up her menu and possibly
the recipes she used and what worked good and what she would do differently
the next time? I'd love to have it for the FEAST section of the Florilegium.

I hope some of the other messages here on feeding fighters on the food
will cover this more completely (only *3* more digests to go tonight).

However, I'd love to see menus or menu item suggestions on what you
would serve for a feast in hot weather. Years ago I was served a
feast of cold cuts, droopy cheese and similar items at a hot weather
feast in Ansteorra and was not very pleased with it. I've love to
have some ideas that someone needing to organise such a feast could
use as a starting point. Although with this TI article discussion
going on, I'm afraid this topic is going to get buried. :-(
