[Sca-cooks] Dayboard-like Fighter Food

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

A friend and i have offered to serve food and beverages this autumn 
at a local war between two principalities. The event Autocrat has 
given us his blessings, heck, he was even enthusiastic about it, 
since this is not generally done here.

I don't know if the site will have water - many of our camping sites 
have zero amenities, so we are used to bringing our own.

We will be asking for monetary donations and anything we make above 
our expenses we will donate to a local group, such as water bearers, 
chirurgeons, etc. I've asked for suggestions on our Kingdom list, 
since i don't know where the money will be most needed.

Neither of us has a consort, so in my message I've asked local 
fighters to let us know what they like, besides water, Gatorade, and 
jerky.

While serving the fighters, we will also feed water bearers, 
marshals, consorts, friends, and anyone else who is there.

We do not have the tradition in our kingdom,The West, of day boards, 
however. So i have no one to discuss this with locally.

Thus this is a long-winded way of asking for suggestions, pointers, 
etc. so that at least a few of the bumps in the road can be smoothed 
out a bit.

I have not yet checked the Florilegium, although I certainly will.

Any other hints, warnings, etc. are welcome.
