Not thrilled to death, but on the other hand, he's a nice guy, whose 
easygoing nature belies a lot of actual intelligence.  That counts for 
more than picky eating in my book.  We have done so much worse with 
little tin gods and drama queens within living memory, I'm expecting 
this to be a nice sensible reign with some silly names but not a lot of 
disturbingly bad ruling.  There are hundreds of other subjects of Caid 
who will appreciate our cooking, okay?  There are other priorities 
besides the cooks' egos, strange as it may seem to hear coming from ME 
of all people.

I'm preparing my "plakuntos" research as we speak.  Hee.  [Ancient Greek 
cheese pizza, basically.]
