Question by Evey J.: How does this sound for a feast scene in my story?
I have a huge banquet/feast scene in a novel I’m writing and it took me a while to create the menu. This is what I’ve got: roast beef, trout, Cornish game hens, biscuits with creamed ham, shrimp, bell pepper & tomato soup, sweet onion pudding, pear tartlets, and champagne.
Obviously, it’s quite meat-heavy, as well as old-fashioned, which is intended. Still, I’m not sure it seems complete. I’d like to do more veggie dishes and desserts, but the old salad, corn, and potatoes won’t really do. I need something a little more creative and refined. Any ideas?

Meat-heavy, eh? Looks like a feast meant to fatten.
Try adding another type of soup-perhaps courgette soup or cauliflower and blue cheese soup. Talking about veggies, why not some thick vegetable soup? Might do the trick.
Veggie dishes, eh? Why not try caesar salad? Or maybe cut down on the meat with some carrot and avocado salad. Wheat and pineapple salad do some good too.
What about having some sweet potato cake for the dessert? Also, for one thing, walnut cakes do well with feasts.
A feast like that needs a bit more variety to wash down all that flavour in the mouth. Putting aside creative and refined, put a bit more old fashion and add some good old Hard Apple Cider. What’s a meat-heavy meal without some foaming cider? Or maybe take it down a notch with a lighter version of it. Your choice.
So, there you have it. I hope it helped.

Argh… Onions before garlic, the garlic is likely to burn before the
onions cook. Last winter I made a pot of french onion soup. Lasted me until
I was sick of it.
she was talking about when Charlie ladled the soup and poured it back in
the pot, not his mom at laundry work.
Lovin’ all the new vids guys!
HOW THE HELL can you pay so much for salt, garlic and onion?!?? In italy i
pay like 50 cents for 1 kg of salt!
She seems to be a little bit loud.
is that how you make a bloody mary?
Based a lot of my recent shopping off of “Hand to Mouth”. Very excited to
continue into Broke Eats. 😀
…Where is james?
Why don’t you round up your prices? Convenience everyone.
well, nice to know that i wasn’t the only one who thought that… first
thing that came to mind was “this is what the kickstarter funded?” cant
wait to see some hand to mouth
While I appreciate the addition of boobs, specifically female boobs, I must
express that I am lamenting the absence of James. He was funnier and also
had boobs.
Baking soda threw me off. Thanks for explaining the reason why. Thanks for
putting down the prices. Have you tried garlic powder over real garlic in
the soup? In my experience garlic powder is cheaper and lasts a lot longer.
that’s just because James isn’t there with his booming voice.
8 grand may be enough to make him skinny, but to turn him into an
attractive young lady, at least as attractive as in this video, they would
have had to raise at least 10-20 times the amount they did (what was it
between 12 and 15k at the end?) that said, as a joke kickstarter i would
love to see that happen… hell i would pitch in out of morbid curiosity.
strong urge to teach how to chop an onion >.<
It looks like youre in the bathroom!
Just recommended this channel to my girlfriend who is moving out on her own
and figuring out how to cook cheaply. Good to see that cooking cheaply does
not equal cooking unhealthily. Now bake some bacon, break it up into bits,
and stir that into the soup.
More Megan. And please get better knife skills; watching you chop on the
onion was more frightening than last night’s episode of “Hannibal.” Fanks!
For frying, it’s much beter to use sunflower or canola oil, as olive oil
has a much lower smoke point; meaning it burns when you use it for frying.
Also, olive oil is much more expensive anyway, so it’s more of a luxury if
you are on a real tight budget.
5 bucks for an onion and one garlic bulb? You are getting ripped off, my
friend. Even in the city, I can get those for 1 each.
No camera stand? This is a very broke show…
It’s a good episode… but please get a stabilizer for your camera…
what’s with the shaky-cam? It makes it hard to watch. Even a poor show can
afford a tripod.
Personally at first I thought they’d used the money to turn james into a
rather attractive young lady. Money well spent. But the recipe is sound and
it was a bit of fun.
Lapel mics would be a nice addition if you can’t afford a boom.
Depends on the era and location.
To be honest, I have trouble making recommendations, without knowing the era, since there is a big difference in cooking dependent on when and where. Foods have a fashion.
How about making up dishes? Consider Potatoes Diane. Easy enough to just name a dish Potatoes Juliet.
