Ruth asked:

> outlandish clothing).  They *do* require that all food
> be prepared by them (no outside stuff brought in for the feast),
> but have proven quite open-minded about having us provide
> recipes and some more exotic ingredients (galangal, etc.).
> 	Has anyone had any experience with having an outside

> or avoid?  I've eaten in this hotel's restaurant before, and
> the food was *very* good, if not terribly Medieval, so they
> are at least competent.
