This is the way we have always done it <YAWN>. We get such wonderful
creations as potato pie and bags and bags of apples with the odd fish head
pie. Of course this brings resounding choruses of Fish Heads....

Can't see this working at all here. Too many people who don't have personas
really stuck down. Its too bad, as this sounds like a wonderful way of
doing it. Besides, most of the people here who actually have put thought
and research into their persona are mostly of Anglo descent and then we'd
just have to get into time lines etc.!!!! 

Although this could be an idea in the ruff!
