SC - Feasting and food allergies

[RMcGrath at dca.gov.au]

Another comment from a Lochac perspective ...

I have eaten at many meals prepared by Mistress Kiriel and the 
Politarchopolitan Assault Catering Corps. Some have been feasts for 80 
people, some light lunches or breakfasts, others have been major 
principality events, catering for hundreds.

And I have never gone home hungry from such meals, despite having a number 
of food intolerances.

Mistress Kiriel and her colleagues, although very busy in the kitchen, will 
always find time to tell someone which dishes contain specific problematic 
ingredients.  The menu, showing which dishes are dairy free, vegetarian, 
vegan, etc. is usually enough for those of us who have broad-based 
intolerances, eg lactose intolerance, wheat intolerance, etc.

Fact is, it's *my* food intolerance problem.  I'm the one who owns it, and 
I'm the one who manages it.  I have a mouth to ask people what's in a dish, 
a nose to sniff out any suspect ingredients, and I am assured that here 
there will always be something at a meal that I will be able to safely eat. 
 Fact is, I have a better chance of finding items which I can eat at a SCA 
meal than at a restaurant.
I am so very appreciative of those who have provided such excellent cooking 
in my Barony.

kind regards to all
Rakhel
