[Sca-cooks] Steppes 12th Night is completed

[Kathleen A Roberts]

it looks like you had a 'sweet dish' in each course.  and 
it sounds like it was very well received.

i tried that for the first time at midwinter.  i don't 
recall much service of sweet with main in our area (but i 
could be wrong).   i thought folks might be a bit put off, 
or puzzled, but it seems they liked it.  that'll teach me 
to be skeered of doing something un-traditional.  8)

i like the menu.   it's what i call medieval that people 
don't poke at.   identifiable with nuance in the spices 
and sauces.

i was a bit sparse on the bread at my feast as well. 
 carnivorous as our folks are, they tend to fill up on 
bread and leave the last course.  which is always 
unfortunate for the feast budget.  actually, the main 
bread was some trenchers to soak up the beef stew-goo. 
 which went over really well.

may i ask what kind of budget you had?  and how many you 
fed?  (sorry... if you stated it before, i must have 
missed it)
