We used to have a bid process for feasts, that the autocrat would ask for
feast bids and choose one from the submitted bids. It actually opened it
up more for people other than the 'standard people you ask to cook' to get
started. It also meant that the autocrat and the cook started out with
similar expectations of the feast.
