Sometimes, even one dish can cause lots of problems.  We need to be careful
aboutcross-contamination.  Another thing to remember is -- often allergens are
carried in the
volatile oil of a food/plant/whatever.  While I expect people to be able to take
care of themselves
I still want to be aware of that severe an allergy so the peanut oil that might
be used in frying
doesn't splatter into the soup (or whatever -- this is just an example pulled out
of my ear).
