			== Potluck Feast ==
			At an SCA potluck [[feast]], the [[autocrat]] will generally supply [[bread]] and often [[cordial]]. Sometimes [[soup]] will be supplied too.
			Each person attending is expected to bring along a quantity of food suitable to serve 6-8 people (generally), ie bringing along enough [[food]] to feed you of one type, although you will share and eat some of many dishes. Remember that this is one dish per person, so if you invite a friend or bring along children, either ask them to bring food, or bring food for them. Remember to bring your own [[feasting gear]]!

			Typical quantities of food to bring are:
			* one whole [[roast]] [[chicken]]
			* a [[bag]] of [[apple]]s
			* A large [[tart]] or [[pie]]

			Remember that chicken and apples are pretty typical examples given for food to bring to potluck picnics, so sometimes we end up with 6 chickens and 3 bags of apples - very boring.

			To avoid food poisoning, it's important to use [[food hygiene]] standards. Dishes like [[pie]]s, [[vegetable]]s, [[fruit]], sweets that can be served cold are good, while luke warm [[meat]] dishes can easily grow bacteria unless you can bring them straight from the stove/[[oven]] to the serving [[table]] at the event. Find out in advance whether refrigeration or reheating equipment will be available on site.

			== Food ==

			This is a list of [[foods\|food]], that don't require cooking and are suitable for potluck feasts.
			Of course if you have the time to cook for a potluck, we'll all love you. See [[recipes]].

			*Fresh [[fruit]]
			*[[Dried fruit]]-- almost any fruit was dried ([[apple]], [[pear]], [[sultana]]s, dates, [[fig]]s...)
			*[[Nut]]s-- Most nuts (other than [[peanut]]s, and [[cashew]]s) are period.
			*[[Cheese]]
			*[[Pie]]s-- fruit pies, meat pies, cheesecakes, quiches, etc.
			*[[bread]] (remember that the [[autocrat]] often supplies some)
			*roast [[chicken]] or other [[meat]]- hot or cold (but be careful of [[food safety]])
			*cold cuts
			*[[hommus]] and some other dips
			*green [[salad]]
			*sweet buns - e.g. glazed sultana buns, fruit buns.
			*almond cake (look at the gourmet Italian coffee cakes in the supermarket)
			*shortbread
