Well...  Seems somewhat unreasonable to expect to have 11 people serving 8,
and then another 13, serving over 100...  Unless of course the menu for the
head table is so entirely different and much more complicated than the rest
of feast...

Talking of which, we're cooking a small dinner for friends and one of the
dishes I'll be making is quails in coffins...  Boned quails stuffed with a
cognac marinated poultry liver, in puff pastry.  Everything raw, when it
cooks, the pastry starts to wrap the quails.  really nice little dish :-)
