SC - rabbits

Thanks, Anne-Marie, for your support,
(but don't buy me a wine cooler!!!)

Seriously, all I've been trying to do is simplify highly technical biological
explanations so that people who don't know the buzz words have a clue as to
what's going on...and I've been besieged!!!!

I'm very much in agreement with your thought that we should, as cooks, be
understanding of people's food idiosyncracies, whether medical or
psychological, but I also feel that if the chief cook posts the ingredients
for any to question, s/he does not need 97 people asking about their
particular bugaboos in the middle of feast prep- if folks DON'T post their
ingredients, they deserve what they get. And I agree that a particular food
shouldn't be included in every dish- that's not good cooking.

Any feast is a collaboration- between cooks (hey, guys, we get the grief
without the paycheck to go with it, and seldom get to eat!!!), and the
consumers (hey, guys, we gotta EAT that stuff!!!) and should be handled in a
friendly and courteous manner between both parties. If people with problems
would let the cook know ahead of time that they have them, and if the cook
would let the eaters know what the ingredients are ahead of time, much grief
could be avoided. As one is poised on the brink of a ski jump is NOT the time
to admit you've never been skiing before, any more than it's the time for the
slope owner to say, hey, that's OK, the slope hasn't been prepped.

Later,
