Why does an allergy to beans force your friend to eat offboard? Is
it because his allergy is a particularly dangerous one? I don't
remember beans really showing up that often in SCA feasts. I thought
most beans were New World. I didn't think they were added to a
bunch of different foods, like say onions or pepper. Or is there
some kind of processed bean stuff that I'm not thinking of that
ends up getting added to things?
