Now I really wish I could be there! Anyone who acts like that is a whiner.
Fortunately, there are usually only a small handful of whiners of that
type. If someone is that picky an eater, let them hie themselves to the
dayboard in the first hour. As long as you have enough of everything to
last for the first hour (which you do!), and enough in every category to
last for the first 2-3 hours (which you do!), and there's plenty of food,
they don't have a leg to stand on.

There are a small handful of fighters (and sometimes fencers) who insist
they can't eat before fighting, they can't eat cheese or eggs, they can't
eat this and they can't eat that-- which comes down to wanting cold roast
beef waiting for them at 4 pm when they fall over from hypoglycemia. :)
Don't worry about them: they surivive War Camp, they'll survive this.

BTW, cut the sausage into small but not too small (1-3 inch) pieces, it
will go farther.
