Here in Bridge, the Barony covers the cost of the overage. I
suppose if you wanted to pay for it yourself, that would be
greatly appreciated, but not necessary.

Again, here we usually cover the cost of Royalty or anyone who
will be invited to sit at high table. So if I am cooking a
feast for 80, and say it's $5/head...I'm really figuring on 70
paying, and 10 for high table.

Yes, kitchen help feeds for free. Course...that could depend on
the cook not necessarily the area. We usually snack during the
day, or I provide munchies or something...

Hmmm...I don't think I've really ever had to do that.

Here, that depends on the autocrat and whether or not they want
to figure that into the budget under them or under the cook.

No. Feast costs are specifically that...to cover the cost of
the feast, not to make money. :) Or at least that's how it is
here.
Hope that helped!
