I personally know HRH Sven and he is allergic to many items.  I had actually discussed this with him and his consort, Sir Kolfinna,  several months ago.  We were comparing notes since my husband is just real picky, whereas Sven simply can't eat many items.  
   
  In all other things HRH Sven plays the game. HRH Sir Kolfinna is Caid's first female knight and up until recently, was one of my officers.  I would rather have soeone who cannot eat much at a feast then someone who has forbidden to have rapier at events where They may be present (and that just recently happened in another Kingdom)

Without getting all critical, especially since I'm hearing these 
reports second-and-third-hand, how do people feel about the example 
of a Crown Prince who will eat only cheese pizza?

How would they react to me if I said period garb is fine for other 
people, but I'll only wear blue jeans and Air Jordans at events?

I could see if there were so many massive food allergies involved 
that this was one of the few clearly safe options, but I'm not 
getting the impression that that's the deal in this case...

Again, I'm not really trying to be critical here, but lately, given a 
lot of what's been going on in my own Kingdom lately, I and some 
others I know have been giving a great deal of thought as to what 
we'd look for in a fighter we'd like to see entering the Crown 
Tourney lists. Should a willingness to play the game in most or all 
of its aspects (and I would submit having an acceptable dietary 
repertoire of one dish might be argued to constitute such an 
unwillingness) be considered by Royalty reading letters of intent?
