[Steppes] Fwd: Feast vs. Catering

[DonnelShaw at aol.com]

I have been asked to fwd this on to the list. This is the discription of  the 
first feast prepared in the Kingdom of Anstorra.
I would love to have copies of the pictures that go with this event to put  
in the history book I am working on.
 
And we thought we had problems with feasts today. :)

 recall a  pig that was "pit" cooked during a two
 day sandstorm at Grand Outlandish.  
 But that was years ago. And delicious. And just a
 little sand makes for  good crunch. 
 
 
 
 I have been told that Trithian of Elfsea for the first  Coronation of 
 Ansteora went out and got a pig slautered the pig, cleaned it up  and cooked 
the 
 pig 
 for the feast. Apple in the mouth and all. I believe Mistress  Xene has a 
 picture of it.

 Actually, Trithian and I went out and bought 2 pigs, that weighed about 
35/40 each. 
 We got a good deal on live piggies, but then we had to figure out how to 
kill them
 (we took them to a place to have them shot), and then we had to deal how to 
get the hair off.
 Trust me, shaving cream and a sharp knife were a dismal failure! While I was 
trying to shave
 a pig, Trithian was saving the situation by finding a meat packing business 
that would fully
 prep the pigs (w' apples in mouths)and keep them stored a the correct 
temperature until we were ready for them.
 Trithian literally saved our bacon with the phone! 
 I believe Don Tivar Moondragon was recruited to carve the pigs for serving 
to the Royal
 Table.
 I was so occupied during the feast, I didn't get any of the feast.
