Sometimes menus are published in advance, but I often make this decision
based on who is cooking. If it's someone I recognize as a good cook, I'll
attend. Otherwise...it's up in the air. I also am often constrained by
cost.

Poorly prepared food and food that I know to be out of period...potatoes,
tomatoes, etc.

I would enjoy more themed feasts...particularly from a specific period in a
specific locale. I'd also like to see more experimentation with unusual
ingredients, including Antonia's list.
4. How many courses do you think is a proper feast?

Probably three, but it depends on what is served. For instance, at our
Middle Eastern event I'll only serve one course, but there will have been a
mezze (dayboard) available throughout the day. Also I serve a wide variety
of dishes in that one course...soup or stew, a couple of veggies, at least
one kind of meat (usually two) and sweets).

No favorite...I enjoy them all.

I do this frequently. And enjoy seeing others do it.
