[Sca-cooks] Feast cost, was Feast Procedural Question

[Patrick Levesque]

Our latest was 250 + Royalty + Crew, and cost about 13$ Canadian per person
(that would be around 8.50 - 9 US, I guess). We had WAY too much food, many
guests were full before the end, and ended up with two freezers full of
leftovers.

Then again the food might be a bit cheaper around here, since we can get so
much straight from the farmers and producers in the area surrounding
Montreal.
