If we're thinking of the same "Her Grace", the lady has been known to sit
down and devour a quart of shrimp fried rice with no ill effects. She also
has been known to send her husband's squires over to a neighboring gentle's
camp to throw his grill in the Lake because he was cooking fish on it.

Certain people and I were discussing, at one point, nailing dried fish over
the kitchen doors to keep her out of the kitchen, thinking that if garlic
worked on vampires, mackeral might work on neurotics.

I have absolutely no problem trying to help out folks with a true allergy,
or a true revulsion- I hate bell peppers and black licorice myself, although
I'd never claim an allergy to them. I just am not a big fan of those who
play allergy and picky eater games just in order to get attention.
