Actually, i'm not concerned about that. Folks here in the West
Kingdom are used to period feasts and foods they don't necessarily
eat regularly. And i plan to have it sliced and maybe sauced before
it goes to the tables, so it will look less like a tongue :-)

Things that people apparently won't eat in other places are not a
problem here, such as fish and eel - actually lots of folks eat eel
here, as Japanese restaurants are popular - and San Francisco is
famous for various fish dishes, such as cioppino, kind of an Italian
bouillabaise - heck, folks consume mass quantities of raw fish in
sushi. In fact, folks were gravely disappointed last year when there
was a feast of non-period food.

Believe me, the food that gets left behind is the grain. Everything
else is devoured or taken home.
