[Sca-cooks] Serving Soups

Yes, it does. Thank you everyone who answered my questions. This does 
sound like a good way to serve soups and stews at SCA feasts, although 
the quantity needed is large. Which means a fair amount of storage 
space is needed to store them as well as a bit of money to buy them in 
the first place. I guess some of this could be helped by buying ones 
large enough to serve two tables instead of one, so long as they then 
aren't so heavy that two people can't carry one. The shape, handles and 
lid do seem to be optimum for this use over other pots.

This info, as well as much of the other useful info and variations on 
serving soups is likely to end up in a new Florilegium file for the 
FEASTS area called serving-soups-msg. So it will be available for 
future reference, perhaps for shire or baronial finance committees.
