OTOH with people expecting 8 course feasts for $3, maybe the best solution is 
to make a feast with no ingredients.  Just list the menu and the recipes and 
let their imagination go to work.  That way we have no allergic reactions, no 
dishes that some one didn't like, no clean up, and no cost.  Sounds like that 
should make everyone happy shouldn't it???
