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

[Jadwiga Zajaczkowa / Jenne Heise]

> Then there was the feast that was being planned, Lady X was to be the cook and Laurel/Pelican Y was to be the autocrat, names deleted to protect the guilty.  When I heard the line up I asked a most reasonable if cheeky question, "That's nice... who is going to marshal?"   It was not a pretty battle for dominance and the feast was best described as a culinary atrocity. 

*blink*  Wait, people have used that line in reference to events that 
I've been involved in... but I don't think you're from my area. I'm 
confused.

Once, as an autocrat, I got stuck working with the person who had least 
respect for me in the world as my cook. She regarded it as an insult 
that I wanted to see the menu. I survived. I've cooked at events where 
she autocrated since then, but it's never easy (still easier than the 
other way around, though...)
