Before any of you start to take Angharad's comments at face value, let 
me interject that this talented lady has cooked dinners for fifty 
people before. Not SCA feasts, yet, but then she has only been playing 
in the SCA for a few months. You folks that are headcooks or helping to 
cook feasts in her area, might keep her in mind.

Angharad, *I've* never cooked an SCA feast. I don't expect to. The most 
I've done is a Crown Luncheon. I suspect that you already have more 
practical experience than a lot of folks on this list. We do have folks 
of all experience levels here. I suspect there are many folks here who 
have never cooked for a large group of people and who are just learning 
about medieval food. It's just that the more experienced folks seem to 
talk more and are more obvious.

Then there are those of us who talk a lot, but don't fall into that 
experienced category... :-)
