[Sca-cooks] A choice of multiple feasts at the same SCA event

[Olwen the Odd]

We have done an above/below the salt feast before and are planning another 
for Garb Wars (waves ~ hi Chirhart and Hans).  The first one was sold out 
above and below the salt.   IIRC, they even opened up more seats on the 
below the salt.  Chirhart and Hans are co-head cooks for the upcoming one.
