This is lunch. It's a pretty typically lame event lunch, because they 
won't let us use the kitchen, so it's sausages and buns, cheese, apples, 
cabbage salad (blanched and dressed, one a mustard dressing from Ein 
Kochbuch aus dem Archiv des Deutschen Ordens, here: 
http://www.greneboke.com/recipes/pickledcabbage.shtml, and one a 
vinegar/oil/sugar dressing with the caraway seeds from the mustard 
dressing, as per the request of the tasters), shortbread, lemonade. Tart 
of Spinage for the vegivores.

No feast, which is fine by me because I've already done one 12th Night 
feast where they wouldn't let us use the kitchen on site, and quite 
frankly we're never ever ever doing that ever again. Ever ever ever. And 
in case anybody asks, the answer is NO.
