OHHHH yes!  There are picky eaters like me out there too,
who got a chance to plan ahead.  Also, one could guess how
much one is likely to want of various dishes, and try for
more reasonable proportions of each.

I also liked the variety.  We picky eaters had some plain
stuff (beef + trace elements), and normal people could have
fun with oddities.

One datum ... anecdote, really: a person at my table has a
great deal of trouble with pepper, and most every dish had
it.  However, she was used to this and habitually brings a
lot of food with her.  Not to teach you how to suck eggs,
Gunthar, but maybe in the future you could look and see if
an ingredient (other than salt, water, or other things you
*can't* be allergic to and live) is in almost all of the
dishes, and perhaps find one or two dishes that could
survive yanking that ingredient?
