[Ansteorra] A thought about why people leave for feast... other than the ones stated already.

[Delphina Champeaux]

I have had people treat me as less than a guest when I
bring my own food.  I don't like that. I have had
servers neglect my whole table even though we told
them that I was the only one not having feast.
Sometimes it's just easer not to bother.
