With the rising costs of foods, it will be more helpful than ever to
strettttttttch the feast dollar/euro. What are your favorite tips for
getting the most out of your feast allotment?
Here's a few to start:
1) Make your own broth from suitable feast ingredients-appropriate
bone/skin/fat/peels.
2) Cut up meat rather than serving whole pieces on the bone--eg pasties vs
baked chicken breasts.
3) Use seasonal ingredients. Or buy ingredients in season and freeze until
feast time.
4) Ask multiple barony members to garden for feast. Even small herb gardens
can save a significant amount.
5) Develop local skills so that more food can be made from scratch such as
bread.
