Well, it's not quite as exciting as all that.  THL Terese (my partner in 
cooking) and I flew into Ildahfn (Auckland, New Zealand) from Southron 
Gaard (Christchurch) to do the plebs feast (the event had a small 
"victory feast" and another one for everyone else).  It had been 
suggested to us that we might like to do something simple (ie stew and 
rice). The budget was quite reasonable, but there was _no_way_ we were 
going all that way just to make stew at our first Kingdom-event feast.  
Anyway, I can't remember the whole menu-- it was a bit of a blur.  But 
there were sausages from a recipe in Sabina Welserin, strawberry and 
custard tarts, spatchcocks with a green sauce, salad, compost, chick 
peas in almond milk... it wasn't vastly elaborate, but it was very 
respectable.

I don't think we got much wow factor for the deliciousness of period 
food, though.  The meal we did was reasonably period, but people here 
are pretty used to period dishes.
