[Ansteorra] Feasts and Special Diets (was History/Enculturation/Cliquishness....)

[Delphina Champeaux]

The reason I saked is that I really hate to bother the
cook.  This person is someone is doing a hard job that
I don't want to do (and I promise no one else wants me
to do it either).  Their job is hard to me and I don't
want to make it any harder.

Thanks to everyone who answered.
