AUDIT ROW #339 · NO SINGLE TABLE STANDS AS THE TOWN'S SIGNATURE — PRINTED AS THE RESULT
The checklist asks for the meal the town eats together — the festival table, the parish dinner that defines it — and on this ground the test returns a course of meals, not one meal. The festival course stands in this history without a signature table attached to it; the parish limb was tested against St. Patrick's own record (a parish of about 160 families at 801 Tyler Street, profiled by the diocesan paper in 2017 with its activities listed at length), and no single named dinner — no patronal feast with a fixed menu and a century's run — stands in that record as the town's signature. What the town eats together, it eats at the festival, the fair, the church supper, and the school event in the ordinary small-town rotation, all of which the civic record carries. The item closes mixed: the test run and printed at parish-and-festival-record strength, the settler for a named table below that strength being the parish's own bulletin and festival records.
