However, consider that if Freiderich is feeding some sort of delegation or 
traveling group, everyone they meet with may think how interesting to do 
that!  And the delegation may well be sick of all the variations on local 
specialties.  I'm reminded of the time (insert forgotten name of English 
cathedral here) Boys Choir visited the Triangle area while on a U.S. tour.  
They performed in a joint concert with a local boys choir.  It was preceded 
by a picnic which the English boys were thoroughly disgusted to find they 
were being served "typical" American cook-out/picnic food-AGAIN.  They had 
burgers and hot dogs most every stop on their tour, and un-like their 
American coutnerparts, they didn't find such a diet nice day after day. That 
ours included the local version of Barbecue didn't really help.  My 
co-worker's son had aged out of the local group next time the English group 
came round, she heard their tour managers had learned to arrange this 
difficulty away.
