fighters that have submitted their intent for the tournament to please bring any

Feast will incorporate two cultures--the Middle East and Wales! From the Middle 
East we have chicken kabobs specially seasoned and seared over fire. As

and Minted Cucumber Fresh Pickle. From Wales we bring you roast hog, a salad of 
mixed greens with a vinaigrette dressing, leeks in orange sauce, and roast 
vegetables dependent upon the harvest. To tickle the sweet tooth we'll also be
