meat, etc at other feasts >>>
For pot lucks it does help to not only precut pies and such, but also
to remove that first slice. Folks seem to have this aversion to
"ruining that perfectly good pie" by taking the first piece.
Especially if the pie or cake is uncut.
<<< But, all that being said, you have to work with what you have on
hand. If
you don't have the serving vessels
to do a pre-prepped delivery, then maybe you can set up some servers
with
roaming or regional carving stations. >>>
What would you include in a "roaming or regional carving" station?
Knife?, knives? carving block? If it is roaming, where do you do it?
On a cart? Tables are often solidly packed with people, which is also
another problem with expecting someone to carve something at the
table - there's no room to do so.
<<< I've already wheeled a vat of soup around a feast hall on a
kitchen cart and
served people that way. (it was a
lot of fun too, well, only if the cart has good wheels...wasn't my
feast, I
was just helping) >>>
Now that, we have discussed.
serving-soups-msg (18K) 4/14/07 Serving soups at SCA feasts.
(In the FEASTS section of the Florilegium, for those that might
be interested)
There is also this file:
servng-drinks-msg (14K) 8/30/07 Serving drinks and beverages at
SCA feasts.
And this one:
Servng-Roylty-art (10K) 1/ 1/06 "When Royalty Graces Your Head
Table" by
Dame Alys Katharine, O.L., O.P.
(But when serving Royalty, you generally don't carry them around
the hall on a cart or otherwise... :-) )
