[Sca-cooks] Handling special diet needs at feasts

[Ted Eisenstein]

>- one chronically ill person with dietary restrictions which disallowed:
>    - dairy
>    - eggs
>    - most grains (rice and corn OK)
>    - much sugar
>    - anything fermented or fungal, incl. soy sauce etc
>    - most preservatives and other chemical additives
>    - only allowed small amounts of meat

You know, at this point I'd be tempted to suggest this person either
eat out, or bring his/her own dinner. . . Yes, I know it'd cut down on
fun times over the dinner table, but if you're visiting, should you really
make the cook go to such extraordinary lengths?
