Good idea!  In Carolingia it was the custom of the Cooka Guild to 
hold an annual "Conviviality" -- a pot-luck dinner, for which we 
made those dishes that were too labor intensive, too fragile, or 
too expensive to serve to a baronial feast.  Baronial feasts fed 
over a hundred (sometimes over 250).  Cooks Guild numbered 10-15. 
  The event got even more convivial when we held it jointly with 
the Brewers Guild, and they brought samples of their best, to 
complement the food.
