I agree, but only up to a certain point. My major concern is alcohol
in food. I am sure that there are enough people out there who
abstain due to religious or other reasons, that we can afford to
accomodate it. I don't mean that everything prepared with alcohol
has to have a non-alcoholic version, but I have been to a feast where
EVERY meat dish, the bread, and many of the veggie dishes were
prepared with some form of alcohol.
If you think I'm being severe, I did call ahead to ask whether or not
there would be enough for me to eat. I explained that I could not
have any form of alcohol, cooked in or not, and was told that there
would be plenty. I paid my $9 and went home very hungry and more
than a little cranky (I could have brought my own food if they'd
answered me honestly).
