Two people who had only the job of making the food look good, either  
through decoration or creative plating. They roped in other people  
for help along the way during the day when someone came in looking  
for something to do.

LOL! yeah, well, did you see the 600+ jars of Apician "salt money" we  
used to pay all of the Midrealm allies the next year? :) I still need  
to finish writing up that research for a CA someday...

And for the record, I can't claim credit for this feast at all. I was  
just the sous chef (second in command). Dame Hauviette d'Anjou was  
head cook. We worked pretty closely together and she would agree with  
me, I'm sure, that without many many other people on staff, none of  
this would be more than a wet dream for the two of us. Here's to  
hoping we can circulate some more of the research info for people.  
Turkish feasts aren't all that common around here and we suspect not  
so much in other areas as well.
