[Sca-cooks] Food and squeamishness

[Bronwynmgn at aol.com]

<<I was wondering, has anyone ever served food at a feast such as a whole
pig's or ox's head, or a whole piglet, or, basically, anything that can
stare right back at you while you munch on it?>>

I know we did a whole pig once as well, but most of the carving/etc was 
hadled outside the feast hall.  We ate the whole pig, though,
I used to work at PA RenFaire, and one of the booths was known as "Pig booth" 
because there was always a whole pig roasting at one side of it.  I sometimes 
heard patrons moaning about it, but it certainly didn't stop them buying pork 
sandwiches :-)  The actors, of course, used to play tricks with it - once we 
dressed it up to look like the Cardinal character, who very nearly did break 
character when he saw it...
