I've said several times that I'd love it if we had some kind of "Medieval Food Festival" type of event with opportunities for people to taste different kinds of period foods in small samples. One of the things I love about vigils and foodie A&S events is that I get to try something in a small batch, where I can decide if I like it or not without the added pressures of being tired and hungry after a long day of working at an event.

If I were to step up and actually run such an event, what would the cooks need to make this sort of idea work? What kinds of space and resources? Other than brewing/beverage work, are there other activities that fit naturally with a "food festival" that might bring in more people?

Would we be better off doing this as a public demo than an SCA event?

Countess Meggie suggested that we might run this as a "street fair" or "market fair," so practical ideas for making that happen would be appreciated.
