[MR] Posting and Performing Feast Menus

[David A. Warner]

And do not ignore the obvious poetic solution. (What ELSE were you expecting
from ME!)

At a Caer Mear Fall Hunt event some years back, on a lark (well, actually on
paper), I put the feast menu and ingredients into a poem that, if memory
serves, Niall Dolphin performed before the feast was served. (It was also
posted by the kitchen entrance for part of the day.) I did something similar
a while back at Feasting Through Time, too. It's a good challenge for all
you bards and poets out there, and another way to serve the populace, and
cross-fertilize our artistic endeavors.

Yo, Naomi, I got a idea for 4 barres!

As someone who keeps dietary restrictions I heartily cast my vote in favor
of posting feast menus and a list of ingredients both in the tavern and at
the event. The few extra words listing the ingredients really don't take up
that much bandwidth plus, at events it saves people from having get in the
hair of the poor busy feast-o-crat . I don't think you have to worry much
about turning people away, I for one just use it as a guide as what I can
and cannot eat. Lastly I recommend having a few vegetarian items- not only
for the veggies but also because it's healthy for the omnivores.
