Our Baron Barre (the Dread Baron FitzRobert) HATES beets. Banned them.
Made the stupid mistake of saying so in front of the cooks' guild.
I don't think we've had a feast that beets haven't shown up in some form in
two years. We've had marzipan beets, egg beets, I don't know what all....
Baron Janos of Nottinghill Coill (my sucessor to that office and our present
King) once insisted that a particular dish was meat, and being a confirmed
carnavore, insisted on a bite. First mouthfull he knew it wasn't, it was in fact
fried eggplant. He didn't know whether to spit or run, but I believe to his
credit he swallowed. SFAIK he never tried to ban eggplant, which is another
point in his favor because he was gifted with a LOT of eggplant themed gifts over
his tenure as our Baron, and took it all in good humor.
