SC - Names (OT)

[Laura C Minnick]

Sorry, no suggestions to your question, but I did find it interesting that the
post in my box just prior to yours was from the reservations person for
Northern Lights saying she has 2 folks asking if the feast will be Kosher. 
An earlier person had asked what items will contain any member of the lily
family which she went on to list as onions, leeks, chives, etc. And asked if
the same cutting board would be used to slice other items that had been used
to cut the onions, etc., as that could be enough to cause her a problem.
My thoughts about 10 days prior to cooking this 4 course feast for 100+ are
around how far we should be expected to go in accommodating special requests.
I know several recent posts have mentioned this as well. My personal feelings
are that I will try to include something solid in each course for a standard
vegetarian and WILL post my complete recipes on site. I will also answer any
particular questions directed to me about what is being served prior to the
event (and prior to asking for reservation money) or on the day of the event.
Beyond that, I feel it is up to the individual to decide if they wish to pay
to eat what they choose of this feast. If I choose to attend an SCA feast on a
day of Fast and Abstinence, it is up to me to monitor my intake, not to expect
the cooks to only provide those foods and quantities acceptable to my beliefs.
I commend Fiondel and Franz for attempting to provide something acceptably
kosher as the off board. I guess I'd feel that I needed to learn a lot more
before attempting to say yes, this or that is kosher. Aren't there rules about
keeping the utensils and dishes used for one type of food separate from
another type of food or is that only orthodox?
Now ducking to hide under my soapbox,
