At the risk of writing a "me too" post, my feast experience is 
similar to Diana's.  The autocrat asked me to cook, and gave me a 
budget.  I chose my menu accordingly.

I had never heard of bidding for feasts before.  In my group, there 
are a handful of regular cooks who tend to do the feasts.  I would 
find it difficult to submit such a bid, perhaps because I have limited 
experience -- only 4 feasts to my credit.  It takes me a long time to 
put together a menu, in part because I need to pre-test recipes.  I 
will not cook a dish for feast that I have not tried in advance.
