I have a fairly simple attitude about bidding for a feast. If I am the
cook, where the meal is concerned, my word is law. This is pretty much of a
necessity when doing thematic feasts (like the Elizabethean I did for last
Protectorate). The Barony may accept or reject my menu and budget, but they
may not change it. I am usually willing to listen to reasonable requests,
but the decision to implement a request is mine.
Of course, I've been doing feasts longer than most of the officers have been
in the SCA. I have the reputation of feeding people well and not losing
money doing it, so most people take me at my word when I tell them what I am
planning, even if they are worried about the execution.
