[Sca-cooks] crown tourney menu

[Patricia Collum]

Nutritionally it is a meal, for coronation it was a dissapointment. I don't
know, I guess if I wanted this without anything special and SCA I could have
saved the 8 bucks and gone to a restaraunt. Or saved more and gone home,
many of my freinds are already doing that instead of feasting. We don't eat
much during the day in anticipation and do expect something more, I guess
maybe too much.
