Servants and guards began to pour into the banquet hall with tables and chairs. They moved in almost perfect synchronicity as they set up in the usual arrangement. As soon as they had everything in place, the guests took their seats.
Like clockwork; as soon as everyone was comfortable, servants began to bring in trays of food in mass. Every kind of salad that Skye had ever seen served at the palace was brought out and offered first. From fruit ones, to leafy greens, to salads with meat bits mixed in.
After the salads came a parade of meats. Beef, chicken, duck, lamb, fish, and an entire roasted pig on a spit; complete with the apple in it's mouth. It had to be wheeled in on an oversized cart, the thing was so massive.
The side dishes came out next. Mashed, roasted, and sautéed potatoes were carted out first. Both mixed and single vegetable dishes were offered, followed by various types of rice dishes.
