[MR] Menu for the Feast...A Day in the Middle East, Barony of Dun Carraig

[Elaine Koogler]

Greetings Friends,
I must apologize up front for being so long in getting this out to
everyone.  Here follows the menu for the feast at Dun Carraig's A Day in the
Middle East.  Those dishes with stars (*) are vegetarian.  Any with double
stars (**) are vegan.

As is traditional at this event, the feast will be served as one course with
all of the dishes coming out pretty much at the same time. The general theme
this year is Dining along the Silk Road.
