[Sca-cooks] Bad Cooking at Feasts - was Re: good taste

[otsisto]

I remember what was referred to afterwards as the current feast. The only
things I remember not having the raisens/currents was the bread, cheese,
butter, and the drinks.
The worst dish I ever had was sweet and sour kidney beans. This was at
Gwyneth and Theron's wedding event. Looked bad, smelled bad, tasted real
bad.

    Another classic error I've seen possibly constituting "bad cooking" is
the inclusion of a single or couple of ingredients in every dish in a menu,
or so many that your feast becomes referred to as "that garlic feast".
Then, there is the faux pas of cooking the dish that every feast for three
months has included, and of which people are tired.  It may be more "bad
planning" on both counts, but it is part of the "cooking" task of preparing
a feast.

  Oh yes! I remember all too well a feast many years ago that had raisins in
EVERYTHING. By the mid-point of the meal, we had gone from joking about
'rabbit turds' to flicking them at each other with spoons. The unfortunate
thing is that I don't remember anything else about the feast- it may well
have been a lovely meal in other respects, but it was only memorable for
that one thing...
