Do not apologize. There are too many of us who are egocentric and can't 
imagine that others don't do things the way we do. Thanks for shaking that 
misconception up. 

I must commend you for having stood up for yourself and taken the time to 
explain your situation. Many would have blown off the original rebuttals and 
not given it another thought. The job of a head cook in a medieval feast is 
incredibly difficult, although there are many who make it look simple. We all 
do the best we can with what we have. 

I must further commend you for the work that you do faced with such 
tantamount difficulties. I struggle to keep my feast down to about $12 Cdn (9 
US) and still serve 5 protein dishes and 7-10 others. I keep a freezer, beg 
for discounts, work every angle there is, but I can't get prices like those 
mentioned either (even if I consider the exchange rate). 

Thank you for the education. We can all learn from this. 

Sincerely,
Hauviette
