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.
