 I always post a list of ingredients for all the dishes at the gate or at 
the kitchen so folks with food allergies can determine what dishes they 
can eat. On occasion, I have tried to set aside food for folks with food 
problems. I had a friend who couldn't have any alcohol so I always made 
extra servings for her without alcohol.  She was always appreciative. I 
always try to make extra meatless dishes for the vegetarians as well. I 
once tried to make extra dishes for one lady who was seemingly allergic 
to every spice and herb used in medieval cookery . It was a lot of extra 
work and coordination to do it and was unappreciated as well as best I 
could tell. I don't offer to do that anymore. I simply post the 
ingredients and let folks decide what they can and cannot eat.
