Remember the Great Chain of Being: God -> Angels -> Saints -> Cooks -> 
Kings -> Everybody Else. 

But seriously, I wouldn't omit anything because some individual won't 
eat it, and I don't care if it's Baron Thusandsuch or the Queen of 
Sheba.  It's a feast, not a restaurant.  Serve a good variety of food, 
provide alternates if you feel it's really necessary.  They're grownups, 
they'll cope.
