Comments from the Cook
This feast was quite an experience. The original feastocrat was Gideanus, but
an emergency kept him from war. A visit to him for recipes and insight
proved to be fatal for my car. It died on the way home from Brooklyn, in
(appropriately) Valhalla. A week later my last car died as well... A
rental, lots of help from The Mooseguard and Whyte Whey and this dinner was
served forth.... I borrowed the Vicereine's war kitchen, two grills, and a
propane boiler from the Mooses....
