[Sca-cooks] Dayboards

[Tara Sersen Boroson]

I wasn't making a generalization about any single occasion.  I heard the
same argument multiple times not only in the shire but also regarding
household events.  Not only regarding meals I worked on, but some that
I'd eaten.  Often from the same people, and even when it wasn't stated,
the "preferred menu" that was discussed would imply the same intention.
  And, as for unfounded, I've heard the argument stated outright, not
just implied.  I only heard one actual fighter say anything about it,
and that was only to say "You shouldn't serve eggs, because they give
fighters tummy aches."  I replied, well, then, the fighters can skip them.

Fortunately, since people have done a few meals in recent years that
weren't "fighter fare" and everybody survived, I think some of the
voices have begun to quiet a bit.
