[Great Hall of Rockwall] Feast or Famine?

[grietje at wolvesbanemanor.com]

These limitations could well be the very reason I was originally told  
by the autocrat and feastocrat to think about serving brats, chips,  
brownies... instead of something more period (which pretty much  
guarantees more fuss and bother and kitchen time/space). Just thinking  
aloud.
