[Sca-cooks] odd feast I went to

[Jadwiga Zajaczkowa / Jenne Heise]

Wow-- nobody had any allergy or vegetarian issues?

> I recently (last weekend) went to an event called Night on the Town.  The 
> feast staff was headed up by a fellow named Sir Xenophon Vaughn who I 
> understand wanted to do certain things on the menu way out of range of the 
> budget so he footed the remainder of the bill himself.  Very interesting 
> though.  One person from each table was called up to serve the table.  Then 
> Sir Xenophon came out and addressed the assembled crowd and announced that 
> there were five courses and all would come out at the same time because the 
> kitchen staff also wanted to sit down to eat.  All the serving trays were 
> the decorative but disposable round metal type trays.  It began with a bowl 
> of bread slices of different hearty breads (no butter at least at our table) 
> the first meat one coming had roast beef surrounded by medallions of beets 
> and turnips roasted.  The second was chicken served on top of asparagus, the 
> third was lamb roast on top of peas (I may have the chicken and lamb mixed 
> up in order and which veggies), the fourth was a pork rib roast on top of 
> pickled red cabbage.  None came out sliced or with serving utensils.  
> Although I like everything that was on the menu, I, for one, did not like 
> the idea of all this stuff on the table (under ceiling fans) at the same 
> time.  What are your thoughts on this type of serving?
