> [Tamara Crehan]  Ah, yes. My fiance is honestly allergic to green
> vegetables. When he was a child, his mother fed him strained peas and
> he had to get his stomach pumped out. When he was older, he tried to
> eat greens and passed out. They rushed him to the hospital and again,
> emptied him out. SO- we don't serve him green veggies. That makes
> things interesting when attending a feast.  He has been in the SCA for
> a number of years, and always went "off board" to make sure he would
> be able to eat and not leave the feast hungry.  I finally talked him
> into going "on board" at this past Simple Fare. He was hesitant and
> doubtful, but I'm rather persistent, so he went.  He later apologized
> to me, saying he thought he'd end up hungry as there wouldn't be
> anything he could eat. Except for the peas garnish on the mustard soup
> and the broccoli and onion dish, he ate everything, and claimed it was
> wonderful (as it was!). 
> So, you're right - allergies can be worked around.
