Not voting. Like many others, for me it depends on the vendor, but it also depends on the event and the venue.
If there's no other food, anything that's available might be good. (Think Birka ... not period, but life saving the first year we went and didn't take any of our own stuff).
I think that's also why it doesn't bother me at Pennsic ... it's not like there's dayboard and feast, and going back to camp isn't always (or often) feasable. Besides, the concept works at Pennsic of having food sellers.
At a smaller event, or one with dayboard (or dayboard and feast), enthusiasim for it is much thinner -- even though I happily allowed a non-period vendor (not of food) at the event I was running in May, but that was the club we had the event at, so maybe that's why I gave that a pass.
So, I guess my answer is "it depends...." Helpful, huh? :)
