[Sca-cooks] Affording a period feast

[Terry Decker]

Afford may be an issue.  Volker's email address is in Germany.  While I can 
make valid estimates of cost for a number of regions in the U.S., I have no 
local knowledge to be able to do that in Germany.

It also occurs to me to ask, "What do you mean by medieval feast?"  I can 
produce historical recipes in fairly accurate manner with enough choices to 
simulate a feast for the SCA or a dinner party, but if asked to reproduce 
the quantities and multiplicity of dishes from an actual feast menu, I would 
be seriously concerned about the kitchen capacity and the trained available 
staff to handle the project.  It may also be that Volker has no suitable 
site available to produce a feast

Why "afford?" I don't see any reason why a period feast would have to be
more expensive than a not-period feast. Some period recipes use
expensive ingredients, some don't.
