<P>I think it is wise for those concerned to communicate and keep in mind the serious allergies our friends might have due to foods, balms, smells, etc. that our friends might encounter at SCA events, guilds, and get togethers. Each person who receives that info, should keep or discard that info as they see fit.</P>
<P>Other wise I say trying to find out everyone's favorite this or that is a mute point since the fact is you can't please everyone. If there's someone in particular whom you'd like to please, then ask them specifically what their preferences are.</P>
<P>I for one would be interested in knowing the serious allergies had by the people I care about, if they are open to share that info., so I can accomodate them as best as possible when I plan to share food items or open my home to them.</P>
<P>Just my 2 cents worth,</P>
<P>Toodles for now, Seren<BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>Hiya folks. Stephen here.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Generally speaking, people in the SCA have always worked a way around this
<DIV></DIV>>kinda nitpicky but potentially very serious problem by posting ingredient
<DIV></DIV>>lists whenever they make something from scratch. People usually know what
<DIV></DIV>>they can do from the store, so drinks and snacks aren't a problem.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I'm not saying it's a *bad* idea, William, just a bit cumbersome unless one
<DIV></DIV>>person's willing to come forward and maintain that list for everyone else,
<DIV></DIV>>and unless everyone else goes to that person before running a soiree.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>And if someone wants Choco-Frosted Sugar Bombs that bad, they usually bring
<DIV></DIV>>'em themselves. I remember having barbecue catered in from Atlantia one
<DIV></DIV>>practice long ago. (BTW, Iaen, she'll be back in May at Steppes. I'm
<DIV></DIV>>hoping to replenish my pig stash.)
