I dont agree, but there sure as heck is a place for it at and in most feasts. (I would say at least here in the east perhaps 20% would be mad for it and another 30-50 would try it) but the service vs art on feasts is a big thing

Honestly, it's (to me) just a matter of where in the feast you put it - if you fill people mostly up first, then add eel, it's all good..

that would be what i would do but hey a feast evetn go for it

[pepperbeast]

Why would I fill them up *before* serving something really nice?

[pepperbeast]

I absolutely reject the idea that there should be a service-vs-art conflict in cooking. I am a very research-oriented cook. I also only serve delicious food and I am a Pelican. Eel is delicious by any reasonable standard, and if a few people don't want to eat it, that's fine-- they can eat the other food.

Of course, this is New Zealand, and many if not most SCAdians here woud consider eel to be a real treat.

I dont think there should be but there can be.
