Master A,

May I quote you?  What you have said here fits perfectly into a paper I am
currently writing.  Actually, it started as notes for a class on documenting
feasts (heaven forbid!), but has taken on a life of its own, and is heading
toward an article for some daring publication somewhere.

(Full credit given, of course.)

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?
