[Sca-cooks] Adjusting your Feast budget for Comps

[Deborah Hammons]

It is "customary" for the baronages to comp each other when they visit each
other.  Crown and Coronation are traditionally when all the baronages show
up.  In this case evidently the Kingdom Seneschal said to comp them.  And
their families.  Not the retinues...  I am waiting for confirmation of that.
 My kitchen crew will pay site, not feast.  And I have no idea what the
event steward crew is paying.  When I get all the up front information, I
may just ask the baronages to pay for feast, not site and see where that
goes.
