SC - Distress in Trimaris - rebutal

<<  So when we step up, we request that 
 all Feastcrats endeavor to stay away from all period feasts. >>

Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear!!!!

Let's see if we can extend this thinking into the other arts:
Costuming:
neon polyester stretch-y cloth because that is what is most common in the 
stores these days.
Stitchery:
Use plastic canvas because it is cheap & very durable so you won't have to 
worry about something you've stitched, getting ruined outside.
Scribal:
Use colored pencils and magic markers, it's faster that way... or if you are 
*really* in a hurry, use the computer, .....they have such lovely fonts these 
days.... it certainly would help with the scroll backlog!

I am just as dismayed as you are My Lady Baroness Diana.  *I* have a very 
delicate stomach, suffering from ulserative colitis and hyper acidity as I 
do, .  but there has ALWAYS been plenty for me to eat at feast.

Being given the chance to taste what was eaten in the MA is a wonderful 
thing!  It expands one's horizons.  Gives a person a new experience.  And it 
releves the need most of us feel to finish up a dish we had prepared when, 
after the first taste we decide that we don't really like it....

Except for out and out allergy  (and here I mean from anything that you know 
will cause a bad stomach ache, up to, not being able to breathe) having the 
oportunity to try something new at feast is a wonderful gift that our cooks 
give the populace.

If Her Highness is concerned about the food, why don't you make sure that the 
Head Table has plenty of Hamburger Helper and make "the real stuff" for the 
populace?
