I did a period lunch at an event which included, as I recall, Pies of Paris 
and Rapes in Potage for the vegetarians.  I believe there may have been some 
bread or a few other things, don't remember now.  The menu had been posted at 
the gate and on the kitchen door since the night before.
I had a lady come up to me and insist that she must have bread, cheese, and 
oranges to take to her lord on the fighting field.  I told her there was 
none.  I told her the pie was certainly solid enough to eat with one's hands 
if necessary, so there should be no problem.  She continued to insist that of 
course there must be bread, cheese, and fruit because there is always bread, 
cheese, and fruit.  And that I must provide it for her.  I told her to take 
him a piece of pie, and if that did not suit him, they would have to go 
off-site to get bread, cheese, and fruit.  She dubiously took a large solid 
piece of meat pie.  I heard nothing further from her, so I have no idea if he 
was suited or not.
