Whoa!  Really?  A ban on Honey Carrots and Olives???  These would have to 
have been because of personal preference, and not because they thought they were 
out of period,
right?

We've had Royals in the past declare chocolate period, but of course that's 
the sort of thing that's a big joke, and as I've said before, I've had Royals 
express an interest in steak or some other treat, which we may or may not be 
able to afford for the whole hall, but hey, that's the way we play the game 
isn't it?

((BTW, I am aware that SCA policy forbids extras for the royals coming out of 
the general funds, and while I support this and have _always_ played that 
way, it wasn't always a rule... and I took heat for thinking as I did. FYI))

There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. 
And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the 
consequences. -- P. J. O'Rourke
