"I've got a feast / in my back pocket . . ."

[bunnyjadwiga]

A recent SCA request for help with a feast led me to thinking. I know that if I was in a hurry, and had to scramble together a feast menu off the top of my head, based on what was easy to prepare, easy to get, and popular, I could probably pull one out of my back pocket relatively easily. In fact, most SCA foodies could (in my opinion). I started asking around and found that others liked this pleasant game.

So... I'm inviting you all to go ahead and try it. Assume 60-100 attendees, and a budget in the normal range for your area. Please post your 'back pocket feast' before reading other people's comments, if you would. I'm looking forward to seeing your answers...

I just grab "Banquet dels Quatro Barres". It worked when I had to change the feast I was going to do to a Spanish feast as the crowns request with 3 weeks notice. I'll think of more as I tend to keep ideas written down just in case. I am not afraid of reprising some of my former feasts either with maybe a change in sauces or in sides to make it appear different. I find that most diners just want something that is filling and tastes good.
