Why?? Most of your dayboard customers will be outboard fighters.


Having done a 12th night luncheon in the East (Fed 900 dayboard), I would suggest that meat is well received by the fighters (especially our kingdom). You might be best able to afford this if you can get stuff in bulk or even cook something ahead of time and slice or cut into chunks that day or night before. Cut back on the cheeses to save money.. cheese is expensive and less well received than meat.Push fruit.
My fighter consort likes pickles, salted nuts (almonds and pistachios),lamb,unleavened breads, soft cheeses,yogurt, tea and gatorade. Soups don't work well for him.

Remember also,the fighters will not have their feast gear,they never remember. Be ready for that.
